If surfing around in Tindie’s curated “garden” of guaranteed products is getting too tame for you, then perhaps it’s time to check out the Flea market. You really never know what you’ll find there, and here are a few products that caught my eye this month:
Dell Inspiron 1100 Celeron 2.4GHz 1GB RAM
Let’s be honest, this computer isn’t going to run the latest FPS game, and doesn’t come with a hard drive. On the other hand, at $50 it does comes with a working monitor. Perhaps the screen could be integrated into a retro-gaming setup, and the other parts should be good for some enterprising hacker here.
Objective2 Headphone Amp
Some of us perhaps don’t quite get others’ obsession with really good audio. On the other hand, if you’re curious as to what else is out there, here’s a headphone amp to enhance your listening experience.
Ball Bearing: 1/4″ ID
The world couldn’t run without bearings. Your car uses many, as perhaps does the chair you’re sitting on right now. Here’s a listing for bearings with a convenient 1/4″ ID, ready for your next robot or personal vehicle project.
Breadboard Button Cell Breakout
Button cells—AKA coin cells or officially CR2032 batteries—make a very convenient source of power with the caveat that they can be difficult to hook up if you don’t have some sort of enclosure for them. This device allows you to pop the battery into the holder, then plug it into a breadboard for power. Simple!
Wooden Fidget Spinner
Is the fidget spinner fad over? Is it just getting started? I honestly have no idea, but this wooden model is one of the prettiest spinners that I’ve seen. As shown in the video, it also does a great job of—what else?—spinning!
