Lego USB Drive

Yeah, that's right.
The Lego pieces were difficult to hollow out. I didn't have a small enough blade for the Dremel to really get inside the blocks. I had to use what was available and it worked out just fine. Taking a 512MB USB drive apart was a little nerve racking. To get the USB drive inside the Lego block, I had to shave the edges of the board. I wasn't sure if I was going to damage the hardware. I padded the inside with tape so everything would fit nicely. The bottom pieces were super glued on.

This is the first (probably the last) time that I've every purposefully damaged or glued a Lego piece.

You should really sell this idea to the Lego Company. Then they could produce lego pieces without their guts and there would be no more lego mutilation. Plus I could buy one, because when I saw the picture I was like "I want one! Where can I get it?"
