Following this article I ordered a 2GB Kingmax for under £11 on the Bay and now eagerly await delivery >_>

I should probably go find some old USB cable eh

Try and rob a bank with it!

PhillyDee · 17 Apr 2008 at 20:32

Superb!

Aod · 17 Apr 2008 at 20:57

BillytheImpaler · 17 Apr 2008 at 21:01

I've got no idea of the point but that strangely doesn't make me want it any less. :confused:

The point is that it's a clever little hack to get others in the computer lab or your office to look at you with raised eyebrows.

Im going to have to make myself one of these. Since i also own a beerbottle telescope, this is a must for my stupidity collection.

Skeeter · 17 Apr 2008 at 22:47

That is surprisingly cool!

Might have to make one for the hell of it!

And a beerbottle telescope, do explain?

Absolutely brilliant. If you had a USB key with a light, could you make the torn end of the cable glow or something? That would be cool*.

*relatively speaking

Or you could make two with bluetooth adapters in so you could send data from one computer to another with a seemingly sawn off wire

bledd · 18 Apr 2008 at 11:51

lol nice, nice bluetooth idea too^

can anyone remember that website that only seemed to do stupid mods, rabid or rapit something

like keyboards with all keys painted black, but done in a really professional way, lol

ah here we go, watercooled keyboard & mouse http://www.rabidhardware.net/index.php?id=36

you'll need some fibre optics for a good result

PhillyDee · 20 Apr 2008 at 08:19

Mines a 4Gb black, and gold plated

. (Only cable I had wit h a big enough plug).
The one I got looked nothing like the original at the mad scientist place. Though it does look identical to the one on the KingMAX website. It was all a solid piece of silicon too. Not like the one on the other webbie. I think theirs was a fake

mrk · 24 Apr 2008 at 20:06

Looks good! mine came today:

Authentic

though I dislike the PINK case and strap !!!! not that it matters for the purpose purchased

Not got a USB cable suitable yet though!

EdGey · 24 Apr 2008 at 20:36
