..your computer downloads in plain sight. Pictures, movies, music, files, whatever! Nobody will even know it's there. Not your kids, your wife, a burglar - not even the RIAA!

Porn and Important sound very similar. Easy mistake to make. Time to keep those imporntant files away from the pesky wife!
By ZackScott 1190306420 Reply Spam [+101] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove2538968- Very easy mistake
Don't forget about the prying kids and annoying burglars.

But what if someone will decide to plug UPS to PC by USB to run Powerschut or something like this?
By zloyshaman 1190307001 Reply Spam [+46] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Use encryption
You can download software that will encrypt the entire hard drive and require a password to unlock it.
By NK5 1190307664 Reply Spam [+44] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
But if I did that I would burn the house down!! 5 Stars anyway!!
By Videostowatch 1190310297 Reply Spam [+44] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Thanks!
It was a fun project.
By NK5 1190308094 Reply Spam [+36] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
use the hidden folder ! :P
neway like ur vids mr.NK5 keep it up
- Great idea!
Or encryption. Anything to protect your valuable downloads.

get a REAL computer
By sweetlordjesus 1190311681 Reply Spam [+35] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- LOL
eMachines do suck, but this one has been majorly upgraded.
By NK5 1190313526 Reply Spam [+30] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
The only thing left from the original machine is the case.5848172 - emachines
Somehow I get the idea that, since he can do this hack, that emachine is not the average "out of the box" emachine
By onboard1960 1196262891 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3314775
What did yopu do with the battery?
By qvac 1190312402 Reply Spam [+32] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Took it out!
It was dead, and there wasn't enough room for it and the hard drive.
By NK5 1190313550 Reply Spam [+22] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
Hide it or carry it with you wherever.
Or use your ipod & let the thieves get it from you instead of stealing it.....
REALLY STUPID IDEA..........
Dont try to act like KIPKAY
- Too easy to lose. This way, it stays put
People are always losing flash sticks, iPods get stolen, even the government can seem to hold on to laptops.
By NK5 1190311636 Reply Spam [+38] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
And I'm not not trying to act like anyone but myself, but thanks for comparing me to KipKay! He is the master hacker.5848172 - five stars
After reading your response to this guy, I give you 5 stars, and your project is as good as Kipkay's ones.

well done nk5

All jokes aside
By firedude99 1190312652 Reply Spam [+24] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeis that? Mine only has a network port on it.
By xjax 1190312385 Reply Spam [+20] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Belkin
Got it at Micro Center.
By NK5 1190313824 Reply Spam [+15] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
You might be able to use that RJ45 port anyway. See my instructables on this hack for details.
Just search instructables for UPS Hack.5848172
oh wait. you're not kip! WTH!?!
By frankblack0907 1190313038 Reply Spam [+19] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- haha
Not even close. Kip is the master hacker.
By NK5 1190313687 Reply Spam [+16] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
What were you doing that for? I don't understand.
By katemongo 1190312981 Reply Spam [+19] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- To disconnect the USB
You have to sever the connection to the existing circuit.
By NK5 1190313767 Reply Spam [+16] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
You go enhance the design with diodes and then leave the existing circuit intact, but then Windows might see the UPS and send warnings that the battery is gone, blowing your cover.5848172
burgling for porn. Damn you! lol
By stevenscorsese 1190312912 Reply Spam [+19] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Geek Squad Dude?
Is that you?
By NK5 1190313781 Reply Spam [+14] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
Not quite Kipkay
By SueInput 1190311912 Reply Spam [+19] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- KipKay fanclub in here today?
KipKay has quite the reputation (and income) on Metacafe.
By NK5 1190313905 Reply Spam [+15] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Who WOULDN'T want to be like him?5848172
now what about the hard copies?
By oiagaxfr 1190313874 Reply Spam [+18] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- LOL
Good question. Just DON'T put them under the bed.
By NK5 1190313963 Reply Spam [+15] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Women always look there. (Not that I would know anything about that.)5848172
Great idea. Time to start hiding those "Important" Files. LOL
By fishin4daze 1190313549 Reply Spam [+17] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe joke is on you. the magnetic field from the transformer will erase all the data off the hard drive
By 123ganjaman 1190313456 Reply Spam [+14] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Nope.
Not a chance. Modern hard drives are very well shielded.
By NK5 1190314040 Reply Spam [+11] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
It would take a very strong electromagnet held up to the outside of the case to do any damage.5848172 - Yeah, but what if you
expose it to a neodymium magnet? Will it turn green??
By Liv Films 1190410425 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove6105199
how big of a harddrive can you use?
By SomeFatSlut69 1190313450 Reply Spam [+14] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Keep it small.
Anything too large and the single USB connection may not be able to power the drive correctly.
By NK5 1190313999 Reply Spam [+11] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
I'd say keep it under 40 gig.5848172 - Only 40 GB?
That's how much important files I download in just one day. lol
By seeall 1190353002 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove4538632
the ups isnt vented. wont that kill the drive?
By tazmaniaca 1190313241 Reply Spam [+14] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Good point
Unless you're really stressing it out constantly, it shouldn't be a concern in there.
By NK5 1190313663 Reply Spam [+12] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Laptop drives are made to run in tight spaces.5848172
I wonder what else can you hide in there
By RisqKC 1190312222 Reply Spam [+14] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- Anything smaller
than a breadbox.
By NK5 1190313840 Reply Spam [+11] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove5848172
Porn would certainly show how useful that is
By PWNZORD 1190604337 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOne of those things I never learned to do.
But, honestly, as inventive and geeky as this is, wouldn't it be easier to just put the entire 2.5" enclosure inside the empty UPS case? Why bother with all the cutting/soldering?
Holy crap that's cool!!!!
By minister_of_loco 1190438420 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethat's what I call a stash!

5 stars
great clip, useful technique (;
By slugger87 1190343293 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDude! you should sell these things, that has to be the best way to hide files on your computer. other people have like 10 minute videos on how to hide files, but you have to mess with your registry and its just not worth the time. but this is cool 5 stars!
By dude_0198312 1190342883 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removesuch a good idea
By digidave 1190339040 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhy not just connect the external drive usb cables to the UPS input cable. That way, you are connecting directly to the external drive located inside the UPS.
Anyway, well done. Very good thinking.
But what if the thief wants to steal the UPS? or the kids takes it to school for his project?? emmm. Password protected... encryption maybe
No offend mate
Thanks!
