Well, might come in handy if you're a chain smoker, otherwise it's useless

DriveEuro · Apr 24, 2003, 04:33 AM

Maybe to charge my cell phone...

nieves · Apr 24, 2003, 09:22 AM

I never smoke in my room. I can't stand it...

Besides, it looks plain silly stuck in the bay like that

Being a chain smoker myself, I can tell you it's useless - I only use a lighter once a day

/me shudders

I know it's a joke, but I can't help it...

Your computer certainly won't thank you for smoking near it.

Think of all that MUCK in your optical and floppy drives - oh, and in your lungs as well!

-={420}=- · Apr 25, 2003, 03:51 AM

Already saw it

Not impressed

The375Boy · Apr 25, 2003, 04:53 AM

talk about hardcore smokers

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Apr 25, 2003, 07:05 PM

Ya know you could bulid one of this for cheaper then there selling it

BWX · Apr 25, 2003, 07:09 PM

Yeah, definitely- It's just funny someones actualy selling something that dumb-

You could plug in any auto accessory though- charge cell, stuff like that- I could fing uses for it- but why in your computer? that's the dumb part.

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Apr 28, 2003, 06:55 PM

we you must also relize that anything that can conncect to car can also hook up in a computer cuz there all 12v neagtive grounded systems

DrBeltway · May 1, 2003, 02:05 AM

One problem I thought of is the amp draw of these things... Shouldn't there be a requirement for a seriously heavy PSU? Don't 12V lighters draw something like 15-20A?

Other than that, I MUST HAVE IT... I can scrounge one out of a car and rig it up myself fo' FREE... LOL...
