Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives

Trigger writes "At our work we were decomissioning six old HP/Compaq servers to clear up space for new servers and, naturally, each server had a fairly large raid array. Instead of formatting every hard drive (would have taken weeks performing a DoD level wipe) and disposing them all together with the servers, I decided to disassemble the hard drives and recycle them into something neat. With a lot (a lot) of patience, I made this shiny Xmas tree. In total there are around 70 old SCSI hard drives, between 9gb and 18gb in size each. They were nice and chunky, oldschool style. There were quite a few different hard drive models, which is good because they each had different bits which I could use. The Xmas tree is made with parts from hard drives only except for one nut which I had to purchase for $0.39." It's good to see that this guy has plenty to do at work.

Jewtube?

In the post, he displays a bunch of youtube links and refers to them as "Jewtube". Did I miss a meme or is that supposed to be some sort of anti-semitic dig at YouTube?

Relevant cut and paste (since people are reporting the site as down now):

Jewtube videos, make sure you watch in high quality (below links are hq links)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pam5qLu8CwY&fmt=18 - shiny outside video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D2SfiYZwTM&fmt=18 - pretty inside video, it's a bit dark but the leds make it look pretty as it spins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soqL6ol3yIs&fmt=18 - reflection of faces as it spins, somewhat trippy and very under-water-esque

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGyOcTHnBD4&fmt=18 - night time reflection in the ceiling, spooky and very scary... mostly

Or if he had millions of old SCSI drives - imagine a Beowulf cluster of these trees.
