Hey Guys, I don't know that I would buy this but it is unusual.

Cupholder/Lighter

I wonder if a computer's power supply really has enough surplus capacity to support heating the element of a cigarette lighter.

If you ask me, liquids do not belong on a computer. Fire does not belong near a computer.

This deal is so hot that you could set your computer on fire

Isn't a cars electrical system on 12v also? Might be handy if you need to charge your cell phone or something.

Yes that is how they can do it. But the wattage draw from the lighter must be huge. Don't use it while playing games.

I'm not an EE nor do I play one on TV but i would think the AC->DC conversion would be less efficient then just plugging it right into the wall.
