Do you have every possible USB port on your motherboard and header, plus purchased an extra add-in card just so you could fit a second LED lit personal fan onto your desk without having to unplug either the drink cooler or the drink warmer?  Perhaps it is that the eerie glow from your external HDD keeps you up at night; or maybe you just want to use less power? 

Whatever the reason you have, the PC TrickleSaver will turn off your external USB devices when you aren’t using your PC.  Drop by Hardware Secrets to see it in action.
