Title: Belkin hubs- cheap cheap
Post by: Delirium on December 31, 2008, 02:57:20 AM: I know many of you are looking for USB hubs, here is one of the best and less than half price with free shipping. Better yet, Belkin doesn't even have them in stock anymore...

Belkin F5U706 Hub 7 USB ports and it is powered.

http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx

Well worth the price, I bought one myself.

Normal price (with shipping) $58.24-

Today's price $18.99 (a savings of $39.25)

Now, if I could figure out why it decided to all of a sudden die and dump all my devices off when I was in the middle of flying...

Initial setup was a pain. It didn't want to recognize any devices until I went to the Belkin page, tracked down the manual, and plugged everything in the specific order it said to.

It only fell off in F4 once so far in 2 weeks of play. If it does it again, I'll start to get annoyed. Probably just a freak issue though.
