USB Powered Transformer Speakers Play Sound, Fail At Transforming

Transformers USB SpeakersWe had high hopes when we first saw the G1 Optimus Prime Head with Built-In USB-Powered Speakers from the Big Bad Toy Store.  Its a shame that all of our hopes and dreams were crushed when we learned that this decapitated transformer doesn’t transform.

It does however play sound from computer or other 3.5mm jacked device. The closest thing that this autobot does are the fold out speakers. The helmet folds open like ears–unlike any transformer we have seen–in order to expose the speakers.

Still for those die hard Transformers fans this is a great desk decoration that is quazi-functional too!

NZXT Sentry 2 Overly High Tech Fan Controller, Still Awesome

NZXT Sentry 2Will the touch screen frenzy ever come to an end? I think not. Here is one more gadget that was perfectly fine being non touchscreen–but not as cool.

The NZXT Sentry 2 fan speed controller can control up to 5 fans in your computer. Slide this controller into one of your 5.25in optical bays and you can manually set the speed for each fan or set them up to independently kick on when temperatures reach certain levels.
