Seagate wants you to pimp your hard drive

Finally, hard drives have cottoned on to the whole personalization deal and realized that just having color choices isn't enough. Seagate's Pimp My Drive initiative it partnering with MusicSkins to offer vinyl skins to dress up your storage drive, just like notebooks and handsets have been.
There's a bounty of skins--about 161 on the site--to pick from at MusicSkin's Seagate page, for what seems to be US$20 each. Or you can get a skin from the cryptkeeper when you're buying a FreeAgent Go drive. From Bob Marley to John Lennon, to Adult Swim, and even personal photos and images, the good thing is these skins are removable so you can always indulge in a different custom look anytime.
But if you're feeling cheap or creative, or both, you can always D.I.Y. it yourself. Just remember that hard drives do get hot with use, and that homebrewed adhesive may well go from pimp to limp.
