    USB Hubs

    I have already filled up all of my USB ports and am constantly pulling cables out, and putting them back in. A USB Hub should solve that problem, but what one is the best? I've looked at SIIG, D-Link, Targus and a few other brands, but I'm not decided. Anybody with a nice USB Hub out there? Preferably under $40 and able to sit on my desk, which is 2-3 ft. from a USB port on my computer. TIA

    I have a D-Link DUB-H4 (4-port USB2.0) and haven't had a problem with it. We have some Belkins at work that have been fine too.

    Yeah, I saw the DUB at M-Wave...looks like my best bet. Question: Do you have to buy a seperate USB cable for it?
