Strobeshnik (final)

Strobeshnik is a HDD clock. The digits are etched in the original platter and they're strobed from behind with leds. The HDD motor is driven by a custom circuit without feedback, hence poor startup performance and awful noise. Rotational feedback is provided by an IR LED/phototransistor pair near the place where the head arm formerly was.

The whole boot-up sequence looks like something out of a 80's sci-fi movie! That's a great idea!
