Nov 9 2007USB Engine Hub Makes 'Awesome' Noise
You may remember the SolidAlliance (maker of the infamous sushi flash-drives) USB Engine Hub from awhile ago, and now we've finally scored some video of that mother in action.
Based on the design of a Motorbike Engine, the USB Engine Hub, is a 2.0 3 port USB Hub which not only look nice but ALSO provides you with an amazing engine noise.
Now why didn't I think of that? That's exactly what my USB hub has been missing -- engine styling and "amazing" noise. Watch the video after the jump to see the sucker in action. I will admit it's cool, but I bet after awhile the noise becomes less "awesome" and more "annoying as shit".

Got that plastic feeling that I hate and they should really drill holes for the exhaustpipes too make it look more authentic.

It looks awesome, I want one! I'm glad it auto-shuts-off, otherwise I'd be beating it with a hammer.

"We are very confident that this product will be a best seller in Japan and also worldwide."
Either this guy is a really good liar or else he is delusional enough to think that computer users everywhere have been crying out for a USB hub which is regular in every way except that it is makes noise and kind of resembles an engine. God knows I have cursed the gods every day for not making such things available before now...
