I had that same congestion issue Gordon and solved it with the hub I showed in this thread.

Powered hub thread

Since I got that hub every port is in the same place and available without going behind the computer, and though some cautioned about things not working I have not encountered that as of yet.

They also make a 16 port, which sounds like you could use. With consistent power coming from the wall, the transformer is always delivering 5v and and 4 amps without sharing like a computer's "community sharing" on a USB port. I have my mouse and keyboard dongle in there, a scanner, a GPS, 2 tablets and 2 cell phones plugged in there.

16 port powered USB hub

There are still many companies that produce great products with excellent service.

Unfortunately, there are more significant numbers of companies that we can expect to produce products of lesser quality that cost more money with deplorable customer service. This issue is across the board, from Doctors and medical services to the amount of corn and its quality/price in a can.

We, the general public, are responsible for this trend. Don't like overpriced crap? Stop buying it. Companies produce what they can make a profit at.

Can we all afford better products and services? No. Can we change our spending habits to buy more of what we need and less of what we want and, therefore, have more money to spend on quality? Yes.

Depressing subject!

Thank you so much for posting that.

It reminded me that I felt that I would put a PCIe USB hub into my new music PC, but I'd been coming around to using a 1U fanless unit with a very moderate CPU, rather than the 2U (probably) housing I'd originally planned. But I can't put both a PCIe USB hub and a PCIe firewire card in the fanless 1U housing. You just stopped me doing something dumb.

Just a matter of not overtaxing the power supply. The devices aren't drawing amps if they are not in use, but still, that power supply in the computer can only do so much.

All.

talking mini electric cars...it would be really neat imho if, underneath a road were pads that charged electric cars as they traversed the road ?
my wife is very concerned bout what happens if one has a lectric car, and due to whatever, one is stuck on a road for ages eg freeway etc.

Same thing that happens now if you run out of gasoline in that same traffic jam.

I don't know much about them but don't they shut off the power flow when the car isn't moving? So when you are sitting idle in that traffic jam you aren't using power.
