Mod your Thumbdrive!

To see the creativeness of people on MyFrag i have decided to make a thread for people to post pics of THEIR modded thumbdrives.

it is a easy and enjoyable thing to do when you are bored and sick of your drive of looking the same as all the others...

I have just finished modding mine into a Lego brick.

So go on, Do something creative with yours.

Awesome! I've always been looking into modding something, but I'm poor, and I'm too scared to screw anything.

Seeing as flash drives are a dime a dozen these days, this seems like a perfect idea!

Now I just need ideas...

and this drive had been damaged by a mate

i was at the library using the computer with my thumbdrive sticking out the front and he got up and walked into it... it was pretty messed up...

I like your blog dude.

I have to go out and buy a new thumbdrive - it didn't occur to me that my last one that went throught the wash I could muck around with it instead of chucking it out onto the highway..

Ok, Puppy linux fails. What else can I do with a 128mb flash drive?

put aircrack on it. then you can plug it into a computer that is connected to a wireless connection and save the access key

Hmm, seems a bit useless at the moment, since everyone at my school uses the same wifi connection, therefore the same key...

Any other ideas?

if the stereo in your car has a usb slot put some music on it

if you have a GF... no one writes letters anymore... so do something amazing. write a letter and pore your heart and soul out into it....

then scan it in, put it on the thumbdrive and post it to her
