Make Holes in Straw
Make one through holes in two straws and connect them together using screw and nut
Prepare LED
Solder two 10 cm wires to each LED and glue them on coins so that the coin will work as additional heat spreader
Cup Holder Clip
Take a 5cm stainless steel strip and make a loop on one end such that it will snap fit on straw
Glue Both the Cups and Clip
Glue both the cups and clip using epoxy or instant adhesive.
Also make two holes on the base of cups and thread the wires of LED through them. Glue the coins holding the LEDs to the base of cups from inside.

Take some plastic pieces with a hole sized same as width of a straw and glue them together using instant glue.
When dried, fix the plastic base on hard disk top using epoxy or instant glue

Glue the female micro USB connector from inside the hard disk cover using epoxy glue.
Solder two wires, +ve and -ve, to USB connector and thread it through the straw up to cups and solder the two LED wires.
