Eco-Button – USB Computer Standby Gadget

A Gadget that helps to save the planet is not normally the first choice hear on GFM… But one that can also save you money and give your PC some protection peaked our interest. I give you, the Eco-button.

This clever little thing is essentially a large LED back lit button that connects to your computer via a USB port. You give the large green button a push and hey presto, the magic happens, or in other words, you PC quickly goes into “Eco Mode”. Eco Mode is essentially standby mode that keeps you hard drive running, but does it while only using 1.8 watts of power (apparently that is loads less then most normal standby modes). I know what you are thinking; “Yawn” “Seen it before” “Who cares” and we thought the same when we first saw it. But read on as the best is yet to come. As well as all its Eco fighting and geniuses money conservation, the Eco button in its spare time enjoys, long walks, having fun and securing your computer. Yes, as an additional feature the Eco button also has a password protect function built into its software. This allows you to set up a password prompt for every time the Eco mode is cancelled, stopping co workers from sending incriminating emails or pesky family members hopping on the PC wile you are “indisposed”.
