1252690 2012-01-07 03:55:00 I neve seem to have enough USB ports, the powered kind, on front of computer.

Am I alone, or is there a solution?

Good idea, but I prefer to wait till I upgrade computer and the rest for new case.

I was thinking about a board with powered ports. Is there such a thing?
I have a 4 extension but is very slow not being powered.

1252697 2012-01-07 04:42:00 I ran extension cords from my rear usb ports (I have about 9) up the back of the desk and under the screen.

You can also buy keyboards with usb ports built into them.

You can also buy keyboards with usb ports built into them.The apple wired keyboards have two USB ports on it, which can also be used for charging and devices that need power.

You will agree the hub is a better option.

The wires would be more than the hub for a start.
