Portable library - showing off

[jeffery]

Wanted to share this idea. A little while back I ordered an m.2 ssd and an external case for it. The case was nice enough and performed near the theoretical maximum for the m.2 I put in it. But it was boring.

I decided that a facelift was in order. A cover that highlighted that it was a library. It needed something that would represent the contents and the owners likes.

What I settled on was a collection of some of the 20th centuries most influential writers and some portraits of some of my favorite authors.

After designing the cover and getting the print to the right size so that it would wrap around the case nicely, I slipped a section of 50mm clear heat shrink tubing over it and warmed it with a heat gun.

I would love to know what you all think of the idea.

My next case is for a separate library of comic books and that one will be easier to cover. There are so many great fan art images that would represent the world of comic wonderfully. The only problem I will face is choosing which one.

The rules are in the guidelines - look for maximum image size

It's easier to attach an image to the post, rather than add it to a personal album and then post it as an img.

Nice, as long as these covers don't increase the change of the gadgets overheating. (Mentioned because lately my phone's been overheating every time I charge it while it's still in its cover).

Going by how warm my Adwits NVMe PCIe to USB 3.1 adapter gets when it is in heavy use, I'm pretty certain that I am not going to wrap anything around the case that might restrict air circulation. OTOH, it makes a great home for an extra (not sure if it was meant as a spare or if ordering 5 drives instead of 4 was an error) Samsung 1TB drive.

May I ask what you are talking about? the only message you posted was "no opinion" not much of a warning.
The reason I am uploading it to the album is because there doesn't seem to be a way to attach an image to the post. it just wants a url to an image.

Don't use Quick reply. That has almost no options. Use Advanced mode and you get lots of options:
Then use the paperclip icon

I assumed you would have seen that your initial oversize images had became thumbnails when you read my reply, and read my calling card at the bottom of your post, viz:
