Ever since NW BrickCon, where one of the Dirty Brickster gifts was a modified
USB thumb drive embedded into a 2x6 LEGO brick, I’ve wanted to try playing with
something like that. So, with all the good deals on personal electronics last
weekend, I picked up a 512MB Flash drive for $14 - heckuva deal. It’s pretty
tiny, and came with a keychain and carabiner which I’m not going to use. The
thumb drive itself, when removed from the external plastic case, was just a tad
too big to slide into a hollowed-out brick, but then I remembered all the cool
Bionicle pieces that might just work...
The result is my Rahkshi USB Flash drive. A few snips with an X-Acto knife (and
some band-aids later), a squirt of model cement, and here we have it. It’s tiny,
just slightly bigger than a Rahkshi head. The blue eyes are a massive bonus,
it’s got a very bright blue LED on the board that shines out through the eyes
and the hole in the top.
Below are some more pictures of the drive. The glue’s still drying, but so far
it’s pretty sturdy.

For those interested, the drive is by Imation, and is on sale at Target for a
few more days for $13.99.
