When I saw this I immediately thought of Brian, because he always has all kinds of things plugged in and hooked up near his PC, a fan included.
Even with all it's alien like display, it is awfully hard to refute the functionality of having 4 extra USB ports, 2 FireWire ports, a light and a fan all in one gadget.
The LaCie Hub will work across operating systems and comes bundled with everything you could ever need for it to work as intended.

Oh heck yes! Security aside, I am all about wireless. Cable clutter makes me angry. So as the number of USB devices connected to my PC grows, the more Hulk-like I become. At last! Wireless USB FTW! Wireless USB technology enables networking of devices such as printers, scanners, game controllers, and digital cameras to their PC at speeds that exceed those of Bluetooth®. Connections up to 480mbits per second, to be exact.
yesterday, D-Link announced its DUB-9240, a
wireless USB hub. The kit includes a Wireless USB Adapter and a 4-Port Wireless USB Hub.
The DUB-9240 Wireless USB Kit, DUB-2240 4-port Wireless USB hub, and DUB-1210 Wireless USB adapter are set to ship in Q4 this year. The DUB-9240 MSRP is $219.99.
I don't care what anybody says about wireless products at home, I like them, and I openely embrace wireless USB..although I was a little saddened to see the MSRP.
