With this gadget from Sunbeam you can mount a cigarette lighter in a 5.25 drive bay. Easy to use and you never have to get up :) Well let's have a closer look at this product.

Very well packed product even though it does not really need alot of protection. On the back of the package we found specifications.
This was easy to open which shocked me since it's pretty hard plastic. Well done Sunbeam!

In the box we found the cigarette lighter along with some screws. Everything was already mounted so all you have to do is connect the molex cable and screw it into place.
The cigarette lighter is well placed and it matches black cases very well.

The cables are are easy to unplug if you don't want them connected for some reason. There is a 30 amp fuse that protects you. Maybe you should get a extra one to be on the safe side if you are a frequent
user of this device.

Just a last quick picture to see how it looks in a case. It would probably match a black aluminum case perfect.
Conclusion:
Well what to say? A cigarette lighter on the computer. Well this is a great product for people that smoke or that just want to be able to burn something
by the computer :) This is a high quality product which works great and is easy to install. However, there was one thing that I found that was unfavorable; the lighter mechinism should be covered up to protect from any accidents.
You can see in the back where it heats up and you can see the light. I feel this should have been covered to protect the computer better. Rbmods gives this product 4 out of 5 for a high quality product
with some new thinking behind it.
Pros:
+ High quality
+ Good if you smoke :)
+ Well packed
Cons:
- Should have been better covered on the inside by the heating part
