Do you have an old Hard Drive eating dust on some top shelf of your work place? If you do, here is a cool way to use it and make some of your friends go wow for your new gizmo clock. All you have to do is follow the mod done by Svofski.

(remember the other clock we saw?).
When you are partying, the clock calculates the amount of fun you are having according to the decibel level of sound in the room. The sound level upto 10 decibels means ‘No Party’, 21 to 50 decibel level is a ‘cocktail party’, 101 to 120 would be a ‘club party’ and above that is one hell of a party. And incase you were wondering, well yes this does show time aswell
