The title says it all. How to make a small safe people won't suspect.

What you will need

-your favorite superglue (I use Elmer's Ultimate High Performance Glue)
-the parts you will scavenge from the hard drive
-a drill with a 3/32 and 7/64 drill bits
-small bolt cuttermetal cutter
-a needle to apply glue if you wish

First you will unscrew all the screws around the casing. Then get the ones inside the periphery, they are hidden under the label, you can either remove the label or try to unscrew it while leaving it hidden under the label.
