Delorean Hard Drive
















This Delorean model isn’t a Transformer, but it is more than meets the eye. Packed inside its chassis is a 500GB Seagate hard drive, so when friends and co-workers make fun of the toy on your desk, you can take solace in the fact that it serves a utility — a utility aside from being awesome, of course.

The model is a 1:18 replica of the iconic Delorean time machine from Back to the Future. It took four years of engineering by Flash Rods and, like the real life Delorean, the shell is made from stainless steel.

As you can see in the image above, the doors and hood swing open for realism. Unfortunately, Mr. Fusion and the flux capacitor are not functional, most likely for safety purposes.

The Flash Rods Delorean Time Machine Hard Drive is on sale now for $250. Whether it’s worth the going rate is debatable, but at least one thing is certain: You’re not likely to find an external hard drive more appropriate for use with the OS X Time Machine.
