Firebox is selling a USB hub shaped like the TARDIS.
According to this article at The Register the TARDIS USB hub “not only flashes its light and blares out the time-space craft’s famous ripping-a-hole-in-reality take-off sound.”
I don’t need a USB hub–I have one, and I’ve never used it, except for one day where I decided that instead of plugging my keyboard and trackback into the five USB ports my tower has I’d plug them into the USB hub so I could say I was using my USB hub, only to decide an hour later that better not to use something at all than to use it completely pointlessly, and went back to having my keyboard and trackball plugged straight into the back of the tower.
Yet, I want this. It’s a TARDIS! It looks cool!
Unfortunately a search of Firebox’s website doesn’t turn up the TARDIS USB hub. (A search earlier today did, but indicated that it was out of stock.)
I did, however, find the USB-powered Lava Lamp and the USB-powered foam dart cannon. Maybe with toys like those I’d use a USB hub…. 😉
I’ll keep checking back at their website. I want that TARDIS! 🙂
Amazon UK have it listed. I’ve decided I must have one. 😀
Darn, Amazon don’t ship toys outside Europe!
I need a USB hub. I have three ports on my computer– and about five peripherals I use on a regular basis (external hard drive, flash chip, mouse, printer, microphone). But I don’t think I want one that big… or one that makes noise…
Hey, thats pretty sweet! Call me a geek all you want, I’d have one. 🙂
This is why you need to be on AIM more often so we can talk about things like this and the fact that I can get them at US prices.
I am on the case….. 😎
Will let you know as soon as I find a source that will ship to the U.S.
I may have an answer. I need to get home to get the credit card to put it on, though. Stupid CV2 numbers.
Steve, I may have found the USB hub for you.
So where is it? I really want that too! 🙂
