USB Barbecue Hot Plate

We have been featuring geeks with some really geeky projects for quite some time now. But, perhaps this one will take the cake for being the weirdest; till we find another one like this i.e. :-)

The  USB powered barbecue hot plate is the creation of Kaizo Aho Ichidai, a hardware geek who likes to grill his bacon with computer power rather than regular electricity.  The hot plate works with the power of 30 USB ports, using six USB expansion cards and requires an array of USB cables to be soldered to the hot plate. Of course, you must be thinking  why some one would go to such lengths to fry bacon. But, hey that's a geek. Don't expect to see this device in stores anywhere though.
