    The best usb hardware.

    I've seen the USB hoover and thought it was cool, but I believe I have found the top 3 USB products:

    1) http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=41077
    The ultimate - a Pentium 1 coffee warmer.

    Tricked. It's not real. Dang.)
    http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/looflirpa/igrill.shtml
    USB GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL

    2) http://www.everythingusb.com/usb_pole_dancer.html
    A USB pole dancer. Cheaper than the real thing, and from marks and sparks!!! Shocker!

    3) http://crzyland.com/2006/12/12/usb-humping-dog/
    The USB humping dog. Useless, but ace.

    Any one rival these?

    not USB powered, but it is USB controlled:

    George Foreman USB iGrill

    EDIT: actually, correction
    Using the USB current to directly charge high voltage capacitors, the iGrill does not require any additional power supply, making it perfect for dorm or office cooking.
    so it is USB powered, you just have to charge it by the sounds of things.

    Haha! Excellent! You need a whole bag of these to distribute on trains where anyone's foolish enough to turn their back on their laptop for a few seconds!

    if someone has stuck a led and a usb stick into a real mince pie i will be DEEPLY DISSAPOINTED

    @MadduckUK - that was the famous CustomPC mince pie spook, IIRC. And yes, they did just stick a memory stick and an LED into a mince pie.

    And why are there ads by Google in my reply box. Do hexus not want us to post???

    Hello mike_dowler it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?
    Oh, apparently they do...
