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.
