Was browsing around for some crazy gadgets and came across this Digital HDD Clock hack that this guy from germany I am assuming has made. Pretty cool hack I've seen in a long time, but check out the youtube video above and take a look.
Here is a description from the marker - Viacheslav Slavinsky: Strobeshnik uses stroboscopic effect to create the illusion of persistent numeric display. The hard drive platter has 10 digits, colon and dash marks, cut all the way through it. Behind the platter, in the HDD chassis, there is a PCB with groups of diffused LED's. Groups of LED's in each character position can be strobed independently at any given time. By careful timing of the light strobes, an illusion of still-standing numbers can be created.
