The fan costs just £7.99 from DrinkStuff.
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.
This USB gadget has to be the best out there for now. It is a mini upright vacuum cleaner. The USB connector is on the end of a 45 inch cord which allows you to do plenty of house cleaning around your house. It costs just $20 and comes in a brown/beige colour.
What a cool way to clean your dusty desk.

The iPod USB Turntable is an MP3 converting device with an iPod dock attached. It allows you to play records at 33 1/3 rpm or 45 rpm and record the music direct to the docked iPod. The dock is compatible with 5th Gen iPods or 2nd Gen Nano’s. The turntable it’s self is a belt driven device with anti-skating control. Also an output is provided allowing you to play your old vinyl records to a stereo system. USB support is also provided allowing you to create MP3’s from your vinyl rather then recording them right on to the iPod.
The iPod USB turntable costs $260.

The USB Finger Optical 3D mouse is designed for the PC, notebooks or laptops. It is compatible with MS Windows 98/2000/me/XP/Mac OS 9 and above. It features a scroll wheel, left and right buttons and can be easily used on most surfaces. The only annoying thing will be having to type with it attached to your finger while it wobbles around. Still, for those who use the mouse more it could be handy for reducing RSI.

With identity theft all around us we must take care when chucking away our documents. The USB powered paper shredder is ideal to get rid of your documents securely. The shredder is portable and will fit in a laptop bag and can be carried around. There are 2 ways to power the device. The first is by USB (which is where it gets the name from), or you can use AA batteries should you not have a USB source anywhere near you.

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.

These cool mice are shaped like Penguins. Linux is not required to use these though. The penguin shaped mice are USB and optical. Three colours are available which are pink, blue and black. They are available from USBGeek and will set you back just $15 which isnt too bad if you prefer a more novelty mouse.

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 🙂

A company named Greenhouse have created the Junk Food memory sticks which come in the form of a cheeseburger (pictured above), hotdog, slice of pizza and a sandwich. I guess they are designed for those who have cravings and are trying to quit. Capacities of the flash drives will be up to 1GB and they will be released in Japan. Unfortunately there is no price available yet. Three more pictures of the flash drives can be found after the jump.
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).
