WTMake for u: NES Cartridge Hard Drive

[epicelite]

I was on newegg and came across some awesome 1.8" drives!!!!

These would fit amazingly into a NES cartridge for a nice looking external drive!

Anyone want me to maek them one?
They come in 120/160GB!

I will do it for cost+however much you feel I deserve?

Why 1.8? I fit my 2.5" HDD in an NES cart just fine.

You have to cut out the bottom.

Takes seconds to break out that bottom. Why pay $100 for the mini drive when I can get a 2.5" for half the price? And I hate to rain on your parade, but anyone here is capable of making one themselves. It's pretty Dang easy.

Because breaking out the bottom makes it look ugly DERP!


ALSO DERP I AM QUITE AWARE! There are some people who come here just to buy cool projects I would bet.

Then don't do that.
You don't have to.

Heck I could fit a 2.5" in an N64 cart if I wanted.



Oh god an idea.
I should wire up a SATA Port an N64 Cartridge Connector, and stick a 2.5" Sata HDD in an N64 Cart, wired up to the pins.
Use it as an eSATA HDD.
Use 'em as boot-discs.
XP64, Vista64, Ubuntu64, make up nice labels.
Just use my 1.5TBs for storage, nothing more.
"Oh yeah? My Computer takes N64 Cartridges! BOOYAH"

Nice 512th post, it's about computers! Kewl.

A week or so ago a thread regarding your idea was put up on BH but it wasn't just for HDs. It was to include SATA, PATA, and several USBs. It was in a NES cart instead as well.

With corners of the drive coming through the top of the cart, you could. Or using two carts. 2.5" drives won't fit in a single N64 cart.
