Failed hard disk, covers off, smoke from burning plastic funnelled through hole in base. Lit with 3 halogen lamps. Smoke does not do what you want!

I know it is the same model as my mirror entry - sorry!

I think that it would have looked much better if you were able to see the entire round object in the middle with more of the smoke on the black. Verty different idea.

I was expecting more CD-R's which were now "toast" : )

I like the colour in this shot but feel the smoke is a little thin - though you do get the feel of an overworked drive.

Hmmm... not done rating yet, but isn't that the same drive that mirrored the DPChallenge forum page in the Mirrors challenge? It sure is getting lots of attention these days... Would hate to see it crash. My first impression is: pretty drive, nice image, neat play between gold reflections and red colors - oh, and there IS some smoke there.
