Wednesday, 30 July 2008

So many USB devices, so few USB ports. Add more ports of call with these three geeky good USB hubs.

Darth Vader USB Hub
($68.55 at geekstuff4u.com)
Kinda pricey for a USB hub with four ports. But when you’re talking Darth Vader with light-up eyes and sound effects, it is useless to resist.

Optimus Prime Head 4-Socket USB Hub
($34.99 at bigbadtoystore.com)
Bring me the head of Optimus Prime — to transform my workspace into a tiny slice of Cybertron. Prime gladly accepts input via four USB ports. He also gladly offers phrases and light-up eyes for your amusement.

Doctor Who TARDIS 4 Port USB Hub
($29.99 at thinkgeek.com)
At the risk of overindulging my inner fanboy (too late), you can’t beat this hip USB hub that resembles the time- and space-hopping TARDIS from “Doctor Who.” The replica police call box has four USB ports, which is so ho-hum compared to its flashing lantern and sound effects.
