Modding an SSD

[DefinitelyTech]

So I have decided to name my computer (Black Red with some white) Charmeleon. And I had an idea to take my SSD and glue or tape or somehow stick the original Base Set Charmeleon trading card to my SSD and mount it inside the front of my NZXT S340 case.

How do the experienced modders think the best way to go about this.

 

PS. I was gonna cut off the yellow outer edges before sticking it to the SSD

Double sided tape

You can get spray adhesive which works pretty well. Unlike things like double sided tape, it ensures the card will sit completely flush with the SSD. I would actually advise sticking the card to the SSD first then trimming the excess off with a very sharp blade, like an xacto-knife

Thanks. I was hoping for something like this!

I would use a wide clear tape like the book repair stuff, the card would look like it's laminated to the SSD plus would also protect it from future discoloration.

Charmeleon hmmm...

Does this spark some ideas?

I would recommend spray adhesive or rubber cement. And also if you do want a glossy finish laminate the card first but that's probably overkill Tape works if you can do it in one piece. But it can be hard to make it not look tacky.
