Step 6Enjoy your awesome piece of coolness!
Seriously, have fun impressing your geek (If you're like me) friends. Go ahead. Gloating is just part of the overall package.
**Additional options: To make it even better, you can make your very own icon to show up when it's plugged in. To find a picture: I went to Google Advanced Image Search and search "Han Solo Carbonite" for the SMALL size only (to prevent it from distorting by needing to scale down).
Once you've found your picture:
On a Windows machine: Once the drive is plugged in, you can right-click on the name, go to Properties, and change the icon. If that doesn't work, search Google for "autorun maker custom icon", and follow the instructions there.
On a Mac: Open your picture in preview. Go to edit -> Copy. Close Preview. Right-click on the name, go to Get Info, click on the picture (It should now be highlighted) and hit Command (Apple) V, or go to edit -> Paste.
Thanks for using my Instructable. Any comments are welcome (except for "OMG wtf U suxx so bad LOL") and because this is my first Instructable, I probably will need some advice.

I've done something similar but used the Han Solo in carbonite mould as a 4 port USB hub. I cut all the square "panels" out of the side and glue gunned in the innards of a cheap USB hub. It worked really well as you can see from the pictures. All I need now is a piece of grey plastic for the back...

This is one of the most brilliant things I could ever think of. I'm not much of a DIY type when it comes to tools and stuff, but I do love opening up my electronics (restored an abandoned iPod that way) and I customize everything i have from my wallpapers and icons to my coffee tumblers. Never mind the fact that I'm a HUGE smeggin' Star Wars fan. Thanks for posting this, man. I am in awe of your L33tN3sS. 'sessly.
