Hi all,

I've run out of USB ports on my MP. Can anyone recommend a PCI Express USB card or a good USB hub which doesn't look like a brick?

Thanks

Darren
 
For non-brick style hubs there's:

- the Doctor Who Tardus USB Hub http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/doctor-who-tardis-usb-hub-232701.php that doesn't look like a brick.

- the Medusa USB Hub http://www.gadgetmadness.com/archives/20070927-best_powered_usb_hub.php

- USB Twister 180 Revolving Hub http://www.gadgetmadness.com/archives/20070921-usb_twister_180_revolving_usb_4_port_hub.php

- USB Hub Man http://www.allcoolandnew.com/usb_hub_man_design_dude.php

- I thought there was a Godzilla USB Hub, but it's actually only a Firewire Hub.

But you probably would do better with a PCIe USB card

These are beautiful USB hubs... Man... I should've waited until I read your post. Ha ha... :p

Cheers. :apple:

Thanks for these, they look rather cool!
