Antec FANPAL Glowing USB Cooling Fan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, USB, Peripherals,
There are so many unique USB devices out there, that it seems many have lost focus of what the USB slot is meant for. Today, we tried out a device that is marginally unique, but seems old-school due only to the fact that so many other USB devices are just too zany. We just received this interesting USB device from Antec which they are calling the FANPAL. You see, it’s cool because it’s spelled with all CAPS. Nonetheless, we just hooked it up and have a few short impressions of the device, which you can check out after the jump.
Oh, by the way, we are giving one of these away. Go win it.

You know, silly USB thumbdrives come and go, but this one is just off the hook. What you see before you is a 256 MB USB thumbdrive disguised as a bottle of sake. This thing will set you back about 5,250 Yen - $45 is US dollars. Certainly not too high a price to pay to garner the stares of strange passer-byes looking at the tiny green bottle protruding from the side of your laptop.

Our data has become precious indeed. There was a time not too long ago where only large corporations feared losing essential data, as those on home PC’s didn’t really know what the term “hard drive failure” really meant. Now that times have changed, Netgear brings us Storage Center. Storage Center places itself on your router over an Ethernet connection and has two handy bays for external drives. However, this is not your ordinary external hard drive bay. The device mirrors the data you house on it to further prevent data loss if you put two drives into it. Being an Ethernet device, you can share files anywhere on the network. We just beg that you don’t put bread in this, it doesn’t toast well. More images after the jump.

Words cannot evince the rekindling my spirit is undergoing, gazing upon the supple, roseate curves of this USB FM Radio Pig. Truly, I have not felt so urgent a calling to spend forth my hard-earned dollars as I do this very moment, full well with the knowledge that a simple $43.00 will bring me a pig to call (and name) my very own. My elation grows steadily as I learn that with each twist of its tail, the volume of my favorite terrestrial FM station will increase or decrease according to my fickle whims, each press of its ears bringing forth a new frequency. Gracefully in stock at MaGeekStore, this pig is certain to brighten up any room in which it resides.

Interesting way to keep people from putting their hands on your data - store it in a faux lipstick case!

Lexar introduced the latest revision of their JumpDrive series, which includes software to help secure files. Their software allows the user to easily drag their file to their computer into an “Encrypted Vault” which will automatically secure them with on-the-fly 256-bit AES Encryption. Another cool feature is the Digital Shredder which allows you to leave no “digital trail” when deleting your files for maximum security. These files are not even recoverable using the most advanced file recovery tools. All of these features in half the size of the first series of JumpDrives. They come in 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB flavors. A 2GB version is scheduled for release in October 2005.
