After the Chess Set for Tesla, we were pining for a cheaper alternative to satiate our retro-futuristic needs.

The Tube Delight is a vacuum tube replica sporting a 90 degree USB port, allowing it to stand up straight when plugged into your computer. Technically, your 32 hard-earned dollars are buying you a headphone/microphone jack combo that is as excessive as it is clumsy. This makes it seem like a waste of money, when in reality, it should be used as an accessory first and a sound card, well…never.

The Tube Delight pulses when turned on and when idle, giving you the authentic vacuum tube experience all the time, every time. It isn’t without downfalls, though. The Tube Delight only comes in blue, severely limiting the cool factor, and doesn’t do much of anything except glow. But hey, that’s good enough for us.

You can purchase the Tube Delight over at Brando.
