Going to a Christmas party tonight and there is a white elephant gift exchange - someone is going to get 6 8GB IBM SCSI hard drives with their covers removed. Interestingly all the hard drives (same model) have an X mark (looks to be sharpie) on the top plater. The only information I could find in my (brief) research as to why, was this Ask MetaFilter thread.
Is it me or would it look cool to mount the drives to a backing board like they are shown in the picture and hang them on the wall?
