You will need:
Flash drive
3-4 poker chips, color is up to you
super glue, epoxy, JB Weld, or other plastic bonding adhesive
band saw, jig saw, hack saw or other small hand held or electric saw
Dremel or some sort of plastic file
What I used:
I got my flash drive from Wal-mart. Its a 1Gb Lexar, 3 for $15
My poker chips were from a cheap set, unweighted plastic. If you have an expensive set, they are likely weighted with a metal disc in the middle and will not work. You can get cheap ones at dollar stores.
I used JB Weld, an all purpose two-part adhesive.
A small table mounted jig saw works best, and maybe a Dremel.

This has a Fallout: New Vegas vibe to it, and I like it :). If only it was a silverly colour...

Hot glue works very well & you don't have to worry about short circuits. Awesome idea - I'm making them for poker playing pals. Love it.

Truly nice! I have modded several usb drives, and never thought about a poker chip one. Thanks for the inspiration

It would be even more awesome if it was retractable and had a cap so it would just look like some poker chips.

Yes, it is rather James Bond-esque. Maybe I will make a flash drive in a Walther PPK next?

yeah, you should buy an all metal airsoft pistol the take out the internals and put the hardware from the drive in the mag slot.

It would be even better to make some flash drive mags instead and maybe implant the actual connector into the pistol, so you can connect it to the computer and swap the drives with the mags.

Implanting a memory card in each mag and a card reader into the pistol would be much cooler than that :)
