Instructables posted a great little USB hack for turning an old VHS tape into a glowing USB hub. I like this mod because it takes an old, out of date medium, puts some retro lighting in there which creates a modern day device I can use everyday.
Instructables also brings up a good point with hubs getting smaller these days, it’s more likely you’ll lose it behind your desk. Having a honk’in big VHS tape solves that problem.
So what is this USB tutorial all about? Well, in short, you will destroy an old VHS tape, cut out some through-holes for USB ports and power. Secure some LEDs for effect and reassemble everything to impress your buddies. Since this outline isn’t enough to start or finish the project, jump over to Instructables for the full low down.
