Check out what I saw while at Radioshack today. Thermaltake makes an accessory that adds a cigarette lighter to your computer.

I'd get that for the cup holder and use the cigarette lighter plug to plug stuff in that I'd normally have in the car, lol.

That would be great for plugging in a mobile phone charger. I don't think I would use the cup holder though as I might end up spilling coffee down the front of my case.

Actually... you could probably just put a plastic cup in there that allows it to close and have spare screws in there...

EDIT: Nevermind, just put the screws in the holder itself, lol.

My computer has a cup holder, it's black and also ejects back into the case, says pioneer on the front.... not sure why

Yes, I'm being sarcastic

I have one of those. The ciggie lighter isn't a standard size, it's actually bigger, so most chargers and other things like that don't fit properly and are too loose. You need jiggle them around to get it to work.

It does draw some power when you use it though. You can hear the PSU loading up when you push the lighter in.
