If you feel like you’ve been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of technology, now’s the time to show everyone that you still haven’t forgotten your old school analog roots — sort of. This is a four-port USB hub that looks like a cassette tape.
So much so, in fact, that it’s the exact same dimensions as a regular cassette tape and it’ll fit in one of those old plastic cases.
So if you’ve lost LL Cool J’s Walking With a Panther tape like I have, you can safely house this hub inside the case.
But wait, there’s more! Apparently the cassette wheels do indeed spin round and round, except this time there’s no actual tape to get all tangled up. So you can stick a pencil in there and twist it for old times’ sake.
Just $24.95 at Vat19. “Just.” That’s actually a bit expensive, but can you really put a price on nostalgia? If you answered, “NO!” then perhaps you’ll buy this hub.

The wheels spin too? Okay, that’s pretty cool…
For some reason this got me thinking about modding stuff into USB hubs. Maybe a captain morgan bottle covered from top to bottom with USB ports? Might be kind of cool… :P
Where’s the 8-track version?
HA! You’ll never be able to do that with CDs.
0r vinyl for that matter…*sniff,sniff* :(
What’s going to be next? An MP3 player that looks like a cassette player? There’s too much of this nostalgia crap going on with Cassette tapes. Let them die out please. http://ziggytek.com/
