Looking for cheap ish but cool looking usb hub, in uk, Ive got one but its horrible! Show me your hub! (or link, im in uk so can only buy uk but show all best hubs?)

I know theres a few older topics on this but thought id see if theres any new things about. sorry if its boring.

i have this one. works great. really like it...matches my stuff too. its powered, which is important for me. its made my iogear. 7 port, 5 usb and 2 IEEE 1394a ports.
 
hehe at starfish and ball one :)

What is the make of the one you have pinback pro? Looks expensive !
 
Macally Trihub7

Maybe not the most beautiful one, but VERY practical: small footprint, triangular design to make it accessible, and great performance.

It's kinda big, but it looks nice. plus, it comes with a keyboard! Only 2 ports, though.

I personally like that IO Gear 4 one and think ill try getting that one prolly, the tray one is good if you want a tray Ive seen that before, good idea.

Just got to find one in the uk now (hint, hint!) :p

This goes with the alu one quite well:

I have white one so I like white and black, but saying that if I get alu one white and black still looks good.
 
I think is one of the most elegant looking:

... and really tiny and convenient.

It has been around a while, but now it matches the iPhone 3G, iMacs and the new MacBooks.

A quick question on this one does it only require a usb connection back to your mac or not? reason i ask is that this might be a way to get firewire on the new al macbook.

Edit: my bad found out it does have an additional connector for the firewire back to the mac. Oh well can keep dreaming :)
 
Didn't someone build a USB hub into an iMac podium? Did it also have spaces for extra HDDs? If I were using an iMac, that's absolutely what I'd get
