Alex..Alex..Alex!
Before showing your ass to the world, please note that the drive is NOT what you claimed. The drive you linked to is an old Western Digital. I perfromed that mod at the request of the people that frequent my site. At my site the comment I made on the subject is that it is a totally useless mod in terms of functionality. If that drive (or you) were to die tomorrow, it would be no big deal!
Please! when have YOU ever experienced this for yourself...or can you supply a CREDIBLE source that will substantiate your claim? The person that did this project is yours truly...an MSEE with 20 years work experience!
The mere fact that the computer is contained within a house will prevent any interference of the type you are talking about.
Who is rude now?
Hello everyone,
I am the person that posted the project at via hardware that you have been commenting on.
First let me say that I have read all the posts here and I have had great fun reading your comments and have had some great laughs along the way. Thank you!
Being that I have some extra time on my hands now that my site was down (slashdotted), I thought I would answer some questions that have come up today.
1. The hard drive mod is one that is totally useless in terms of funtionality, but there have been requests from our site members to show it. In response to the requests, we performed our version of that mod.
2. No, the modded HDD is not the primary drive. I have several seagate cheetah X15 SCSI drives that comprise the backbone of my storage subsystem. The modded drive is one that is used for file storage. If it were to fail..no big deal.
3. This project was done to appeal to our site's constituants who comprise the overclocking and modded case community. We have dubbed this the extrememhz.com "flagship case"
4. The project is far from finished there is quite a bit of work to do still. We should be finished in approximately 2 weeks. I hope interested people visit www.extrememhz.com and check out the final result and share your thoughts with us.
As for me, I run the site as a hobby, as I have always been tinkering around with diffrent technologies. I am an engineer by profession and geek by happenstance...:)
I also have aquariums, so if the case doesn't work out...well you know!
BTW the site is operational...the IP addresses have been reset by our hosting company, so if you reboot your system and try to log in you,will be able to.
Visit us at www.extreme.mhz.com The project is in the forums under worklogs.
Thanks...any questions just holler. I am a big fan of slashdot.
Cheers!

Those are not all CD/DVD drives you see. Included are SCSI drives that are in an aluminum enclosure for cooling and noise reduction
