External USB 2.0 hub

Buzza · 31 Jul 2006 at 21:40

Ive added a second gfx card to my PC which has left me nowhere to stick my USB card. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced external USB2 hub(4 port minimum), so i can hook up my scanner and printer etc?

Are there drawbacks to using an External hub, as in slower speeds through it?

thanks

I have one by belkin. I wish motherboards would provide more in the hub next door to the ethernet and ps2 slots... A lot of them say they can deal with upto 8, but more often then not you have to lose 2 slots on your motherboard/case with half of them in order to use that many without a multiplier/hub.

Here

Self-powered devices like printers, etc should work fine

Thanks chaps, ive now got a 7-port Belkin hub which works a treat. I wish i could say the same about my SLI cards.
