This Hard Drive Clock is fantastic, especially the great looking painted front of the clock. It really looks like a piece of art. As you probably know we love hard drive clocks around here and almost any projects that can be made with used hard drives! Thanks for the tip Maciek.
I think small electric powered devices such as this one will become very popular in the next 10 years.

"Constructing a clock using nixie tubes is nothing new. It has been done countless times, to the point where it is almost considered a rite of passage for an amateurs in electronics. I was interested in building a nixie

"Programming in C can be a daunting task for a beginner, especially when new programming languages like Python make it so easy to accomplish basic tasks. Taking input from the user, and displaying data back to the user in a human readable format is one of those things in C that
We have featuring tons of clocks around here lately. Nick Romano sent in a clock that he built from a kit he got from a Frank Techniek. It is spiced up with lots of cool extras that make it shine! "I built one from a kit offered by Frank Tech and then fabricated the case. All parts, fasteners etc are hand made of brass, acrylic and a glass dome.
