You could make a USB powered...
light!
Radio! (listen to some tunes while in the school's library)
Fan!
pencil sharpener!
Game Boy power adapter!
Babbling brook! (one of those rock things that pump water and sound like a small river running)
NESp! (you-know-who made one )
anything else that runs on 5 volts or less!
(USB puts out 5v, something like 360ma or something like that right off the bus, more if you have a powered hub)

Tell me what you do with it, I've got a couple dozen I don't know what to do with!

Closer to 500mA actually. This is another reason why FireWire rocks, up to 30V @ 1.5A.bicostp wrote:(USB puts out 5v, something like 360ma or something like that right off the bus, more if you have a powered hub)
Make a power bar that cuts power to peripherals when you turn off your computer. It's simple, just connect a relay to the power from the USB cord.

Right on, brother! I plan on using my LCD screen enclosure as a goldfish aquarium, powered by Firewire. I could have some lights, and maybe a 12v fan moving the water around...
