Isn't this from Season 1?

Yeah it is. We're uploading all of our segments individually so you're likely to see a ton of material from the past 3 seasons on youtube soon.

I see a couple of problems here.

1. That panel is not strong enough to withstand all the plugging in and pulling out. I could see it flexing when the device was plugged in.

2. All of the accessories that would be OK to run in the PC have USB cables available to them (phone chargers ETC).

YOU are awesome!.

Please make more mods for pc cases.

and post them on youtube.

Thanks for the tips! Do you know what kind of current you can pull off of that plug? I imagine that it is related to power supply Wattage ratings, but I recon... ballpark 2 Amps to 5 Amps maybe?

was that a cellphone or a fridge ?

that phone is huge

[jeroenknex80]

better charge your phone with usb

Very nicely done

[WhiteHawkUK]

Cool.

You wouldn't want to use anything with a serious power draw though - a cigarette lighter in the socket might just be too much for the average user's power supply... o.0

I'd just put a cig lighter in there, save me on buying lighters all the time..lol

Wow. Look how young and thin Wess looks here. Seems like so long ago...

I hope he comes up with some crazy mods we never seen for the next season.
