Harddrives die. it would be easy enough to design the housing with a removable access panel to be able to replace the drive instead of needing to do home surgery and risk glass/lcd/purplebear damage. But well done on the repair, good-on-ya, mate. I would consider putting this in that category of hardware industrial design FAIL.

I work for a company named Syncables, and after reading through this, I think you might want to check us out. We make a localized syncing software that I've found makes a great offline compliment to dropbox, as well as a very nice behind-the-scenes backup solution. Our client is cross-platform, and it lets you keep your files, contacts and email synced between your computers over your home or office network, which is great for when you can't get an internet connection but still need to transfer things between your machines. It also includes a media component, which allows you to upload your media to any phone or usb drive, which I think you would have found very handy when you had to format your drive! Anyway, give us a look sometime at <a href="http://www.syncables.com" rel="nofollow">www.syncables.com</a>.<br><br>Thanks! Hey Paul, I'm Spencer.

Maybe I need to install some red lasers across the living room....<br><br>@DH - I would never hold a grudge, I just needed a target for my anger. Much better now.

I have had more hard drive crashes than I care to remember, on 2 Macs and every Windows laptop I ever owned.

You should cut a hole in your sliding glass door for giggles, w/a diamond-tipped blade. You forgot to tell the kids to stay away from drugs.

Fantastic project, but very scary.

Love the suction cup. You should cut a hole in your sliding glass door for giggles, w/a diamond-tipped blade.
