Upcycle A Hard Drive Into A Clock

My wife’s first computer was a PC with a whopping 40 MB hard drive (I’m a Mac guy myself). I have to chuckle at that now because these days storage devices can hold many thousands of times more memory - and my wife can easily fill a 3GB hard drive in just over a year with all our blog photos!
If you’ve ever wondered what you can do with old computer parts, this is the tutorial for you! Just in time for daylight savings time: you can upcycle the hard drive into a one-of-a-kind clock!
I originally got the idea from my niece who used to make and sell hard drive clocks for spare pocket change. Her father (my brother) owns a computer repair shop so there were always dead hard drives around that were ripe for the picking. She made the one pictured in the video above as a gift for her grandmother.”
