The Super Hard Drive case was created by Logic Sunrise user _n3o_. Logic Sunrise is a French website dedicated to video game hacks.

    A list of very interesting projects. I may try one out. By the way, recently I am looking into buying a new solder station. Have anyone heard of Hakko soldering station like this one? http://www.whichsolderingstation.com/hakko-fx-951-soldering-station-review/
