    Just thought I'd throw this out there, since I never saw these on sale before. Mine just arrived yesterday.

    $15.89 for a 2 metre borescope / endoscope.

    Basically a 640x480 usb webcam.

    Now I doubt it's rated for medical applications, so I wouldn't start performing your own colonoscopies with it ! :eek:

    But, it could be used to see awkward parts of car engines, drop it behind plasterboard walls to check for leaks, a cheap external webcam, drill a hole in a door and use it as a front door security camera.

    I love the fact that the 4 white LED lights are manually controlled on a scroll wheel at the other end of the cable, so you can disable the lights as necessary.

    Edit: Just another note, the lense is not a fisheye lens, ie. it doesn't distort the image.
    I pointed it out the window into the distance and it's still a true image like a normal webcam.

    regards,
    CD
