Noctua is a small Austrian company specializing in high end computer cooling.  As the successor to the highly regarded NF-S12, the B variant  has a few refinements including a new beveled fan blade tip design.  With the ability to change the RPM via a "low noise" adapter (which appears to be just a resistor), it promises to be very quiet as well.

Scythe has just recently released a line of USB Foot Switches.   Now the first question that went through my head when I first heard of this thing was "what in the world are USB Foot Switches?"  That was pretty easy to figure out as they are exactly what the sound like.  It is a switch that you push with your foot, connected to your computer via USB.  Scythe's USB Foot Switch comes in three varieties.  There are one pedal, two pedal, and three pedal versions, allowing you to choose how many pedals is the right number for you.  This article mostly focuses on the single pedal version since that is the kind I was using.
