Let's get something straight from the start. You have to be pretty mad to window mod a hard drive (yes, I myself am tempted to.) You have to be even madder to create a custom "clean box" for the mod... then write about it.
The solution is to recreate the environment your drive was assembled in as closely as possible. A clean room is a very difficult and costly space to maintain, so we are aiming for a Clean Box. An environment we have a larger measure of control over. The biggest offender in contaminating any space is you...you shed all manner of little "stuff" like dead skin cells, etc.
