Visuals USB Gauge

visuals_usb
Over clocking PC’s is serious business. Parts can be expensive and you need to make sure you do not over heat the thing, or have a lack of power. Getting the most out of your power supply is also needed. The Visuals USB gauge provides real time readouts on what is happening right now inside your PC. The gauge supplies information on wattage consumption, temperature and fan speed of the PSU. As the name suggests, it connects to a USB port on your PC. To switch between various modes you just hit a small button on the face of the device.

Gold Hard drive to Impress Business Colleagues

gold-hard-drive
My first impressions of the image above was that it was a gold shiney matress. I was wrong 🙂 You are actually looking at a 500GB external gold hard drive from LaCie. It uses USB 2.0 to connect which allows for fast file transfer. Other then that it is fairly standard but just jazzed up a little. I can imagine the looks you get as you whip out a gold hard drive from your laptop case in a business meeting. The gold hard drive will cost $189 and be available towards the end of this month.

Transformers USB Flash Drives

transformers-usb
Transformers are still alive and kicking. This time they come in the shape of USB flash drives which work on USB 2.0 technology. Two capacities are available which are the 1GB model being the Autobot and the 2GB being the Decepticon. They are quite unique and do look quite cool. With them being USB 2.0 you can expect the usual high speed transfer speeds between the drive and PC. If only they could actually transform though 🙂

This little plane is powered by USB. The propeller on the front acts as a fan to cool you down. There is no fear of it taking off due to it being connected via USB (and blowing the wrong way obviously).
