Wow, This is Definitely Not The Droid You Were Looking For

Real or fake? Either way, there are so many things delightfully wrong with this image that I just had to share what may possibly be the world’s creepiest case mod. Yes that is a hard disk taped to his thigh like a garter. But his biggest mistake: who uses a CRT anymore? [Reddit]

    Maybe he’s going to put on some body armor, goggles and pretend he’s Nomad?

    IDE cables and Slot one mobo point to this being very old indeed…

    No IDE going to the HDD so I call shenanigans!
