@Blue387: Well, right now I'm a fan of the "camouflage in the open" method.

I have a sh*tty old external case for a 3.5" desktop hard drive. The case is about 5 years old and looks it. It's plenty rugged allowing me to keep it in a bin reserved for junk.

Plus, because it's for desktop drives, I can cram a 500GB drive in there for cheap.

Seems you could shove any number of interesting things inside a VHS tape. Pico ATX comes to mind.

@OMG! Ponies!: Good Idea!! Guess I got to go get the dremel out now, and test that theory.

@OMG! Ponies!: Would only be funnier if it was a Betamax Tape. might be more of a tight squeeze though

How about modding a VHS tape into an external drive? How apropos would it be to make an old pr0n movie into an external drive for your pr0n.
