Snake Coffin USB Flash Drive

Flash Storage| Hand Crafted USB| Useless Novelty

We stumbled upon this Snake Coffin USB drive when writing about the Han Solo Carbonite USB stick, neither of which make a great USB promotional drive, but definitely a unique looking device.

For the select few who would enjoy this wondrous USB Snake Drive, you can grab a 2GB version for only $25 bucks.  The custom snake casket is a limited edition drive and only available while supplies last.

Just Weeks After Halloween, Skeleton USB Drive

Brando USB| Useless Novelty

Brando is based in Hong Kong and isn’t familiary with all the traditions within the US, like Halloween.  Just 2 weeks after our holiday, Brando introduces a skeleton USB stick.  Maybe Brando was going after the gothic customer base rather than capitalize on the holiday buying trend.

Either way, here is the latest skeleton USB stick from Brando.  The drive itself has a lever in the back to slide the USB connector in and out.  This keeps the classic goth look to the device, while at the same time adding some protection to the USB connector.

Limited in range size, they offer only a 4GB version.  That will set you back $32 USD.

Here is the sales pitch from Brando:

Fashionable USB Skeleton Necklace Flash Drive with decorative crystals and skeleton shape. Necklace is included to wear around your neck, surely will give you a stylish look.

Gold Toaster or Ugly Gold PC?

Useless Novelty

gold pc with usb

I don’t know what these guys are thinking but here’s an ugly bold box called a PC.  From the front it looks like a toaster for only one slice of bread.  From the side it’s got a handle for only god knows why.

With all the fancy gold on the outside, I’m curious what the back looks like.  Probably your standard PC output panel.

In case you are wondering, we have no idea how much this gold gem costs but we do know it’s got a Dual Core 2.0 processor, eight USB ports, 100GB HDD and 4GB of RAM.

As Music Radar stats:  “I bet it still crashes!”

Dog & Penguin Laptop USB Cooling Fan - Great Look & Cool Design

Power for USB| USB News| Useless Novelty

No pun intended, but this laptop fan is cool looking with a great design.  The Dog shapped USB cooling fan is an ideal adition to those working from laptops.  With two 6″ built-in cooling fans, it can dissipate heat away from the bottom of your laptop and cool down the the under belly of your laptop.

The USB cooling fan for your laptop comes in either a Dog or Penguin shape and acrylic top.  It’s almost a shame you cover up the design with your laptop.

Here is a side view of the laptop cooling pad: (more…)

Budweiser Beer Hides USB Stick

Flash Storage| USB News| Useless Novelty

Ahh, Budweiser.  I could use a nice cold one right now, but I don’t think this USB beer drive is the answer.  First off, it’s not cold - which is how I like it.

Clearly a promotional USB drive for a trade show give-away, this Budweiser stick is the first I’ve ever seen with liquid inside the plastic case.  Then again, taking just 5 seconds to think about this and review the picture, there is no way liquid is inside.  Rather that’s some nice looking brown plastic and fake white bubbles for an ever-so-real look.  How could this thing still have carbonation?

If you’re a fool and think this USB drive is drinkable - then you really do need a drink.
