Title: New (?) USB Spinner that glows!
Post by: Retrocactus on July 28, 2002, 11:50:48 pm

Has anyone seen or tried this (http://www.everythingipod.com/suggest.tpl?command=search&db=dbs/products.db&cart=1027903578362288&eqPRONAMEdatarq=Powermate%20USB%20Controller&searchSKU=001-pwrmt&max=1&eqAVAILdatarq=YES&max=1) yet?

I found it on a mac site but it looks like it will also work with Windows. A little pricey at $49US but may be an awesome spinner to add to your cabinet!

Hi
I Haven't tried it but I went to the
manufactures website Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/index.html)
and it confirms it works with pc or mac

As far as being pricey a $49
not really when you consider
the oscar spinners run from
51 to 67 dollars
 
Might have to look into this a bit more
Just wish they showed a mounting dig.

Edit: I just went back to the manufactures site
and you can buy direct @ 45 dollars each

Yeah, I've seen people talk about those, but the only reason why I'm guessing it wouldn't be the best overall spinner: it probably doesn't spin that well if it's made for like volume control and things like that, you'd be better off just taking off the top part and hacking it to a hard drive spinner, so it spins well.
 -just a thought, it might be awesome though
