    USB bum-cooler - blessed relief!

    The UK's heat wave may be over but how much would any of us have been willing to pay in recent weeks for a bum-cooler intended for use on office chairs and powered by USB? A lot more, we reckon, than the tax-inclusive 4,800 Yen (£22) that Rare Mono is asking for it.

    No more sweaty rear end? Sounds good to me... Hot weather and office chairs is a bad combination, also stress and office chairs, and gaming in office chairs. Seems like a perfect solution to a problem a lot of people have. LOL

    Motherboards are going to have to start coming with 20 USB ports to cope with all these USB powered devices on the market, otherwise there will be hubs all over the place

    This is actually a good idea - high end cars get air con seats..

    Has anyone got one of these, and does it actually work? Because I can see one major problem with them, though I still think it's a really good idea, if your sitting on the holes, wouldn't you block them a bit, which would make the fan work harder and possibly break it over time.... Plus, how noise is one of these 'bum-coolers'?

    NB, not wanting to critise.... actually considering buying one, just want to make sure it's a good investment
