An interesting product . . .

A USB Cooling plate

Claims to cool drinks to 45^F(7^C) using a peltier device.

Not sure if I'd want to spend 40 dollars on it, but it would be nice to keep my booze cooler longer.

45* is tepid

seeing as you can only get something like 2.5 watts out of a USB port i really don't see this working very well.

It does recommend a powered USB Hub, and it says it will require all the power the USB port can provide.

Someone with money to burn buy it and tell me how it works.

It works great; I've since upgraded to an Icemaker.

The USB money burner is still on back-order.

Tip: Don't buy the USB shoe buffer, it's way too noisy.
