Treated myself to an awesome desk defender based off the turrets from Portal. This thing is awesome and a lot bigger than I expected. It's 7.5" tall and it is fantastic looking. It stays in it's collapsed form until something goes past the motion sensor in the front or if you hit the button on the back. When activated the turret opens while playing the firing sounds and speaks like in the games. You can also knock it over and it will vibrate around the desk and screams error messages.
The eye lights up but no laser comes out unfortunately.
It's powered by USB through a generic mini-USB cord. You can swap that out with any mini-USB cord or phone charger.
There's only one thing I don't like is that there is not a volume control on it. I work in a quiet office and this thing is freaking loud. I wish I could turn that down but it's possible to keep it silent by keeping it open by pushing the buttons on the back. There's many more pictures and a video on ThinkGeek's site here. The pictures don't do it justice because it is a lot bigger than it looks.
