  • theblackgecko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Dugg for the Engrish translation.
  • tjl2015, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4At least this thing looks like it will actually work. There's at least one usb drink cooler already out:
    http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/7f5a/
    However, the one from ThinkGeek is something you just place the drink upon. Reviews have shown it's ineffective, especially for pop cans. There simply isn't enough surface contact between the beverage and the cooling device. The upside, it's flat and sexy. The downside, it doesn't work.

    This new device, however, completely surrounds the pop can. The downside, it is a giant monster that doesn't even resemble a computer peripheral. The upside, it actually works. For Christ's sake people! This thing is bigger than the laptop it's plugged into. Just buy a damn minifridge!
  • alexonix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Still ugly as hell :)
  • VPurpmalkV, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But mayhaps you could put your Reservoir for your H2O Cooled computer in it. Creating a Coolant Cooler?
  • clumsyninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LOL Yeah, and if you occasionally glance at the girl's first pic while reading that, it's farking hilarious.
  • Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That kind of circular reasoning might just be crazy enough to work.
  • pointlessaudio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Hey... this is cool

    Warming with USB it being possible, how the excessiveness which it cools? There is no such a thing! ! "USB hot doing, if you use cool", connecting to USB of the personal computer, just change the switch hot and cool possibility, are the epoch-making commodity!
