SJasperson writes "At last, you don't need to mess around with Dremel tools and Lexan (and destroy your valuable data) to get a clear window in your hard drive. Western Digital has released the Raptor X 150GB SATA hard drive. 10,000 RPM, 4.6ms seek time, 16MB buffer, and, yes, a clear window so you can see what's going on inside. Made out of a special polycarbonate lens with an ESD-dissipative coating, the lens is designed to let case modders and their groupies see the drive platters and heads without sacrificing data integrity."

This is pretty cool but one thing I always wanted to see was the insides of an internal-combustion engine in action.
Don't know if one can be constructed given the high temperatutres and pressures involed.
I think it would be way cool to film and observe in slow-motion the actual real-life view of the whole sequence of the up-stroke, fuel injection, the spark, the explosion and the resulting down-stroke of the piston and exhaust.
