Another big USB hub for those in need

I couldn't find any details about how big the power adapter is (ie can it REALLY power all 24 ports simultaneously), but this looks like a very affordable solution for needing more than just a few USB ports for a control panel.

Here it is for about $29.
Also, a 12 port USB 3.0 hub for ~$41.
Never liked Think Geek's huge markups.
drventure:
Even better! Thanks for the link.
drventure:
Nice info about the usb 3.0 hub, but I'd imagine that'd be overkill for joysticks, trackballs, spinners, and keyboard encoders, right?
I'm just wondering more than anything. Given the speed of USB 2.0, I'd guess that'd be plenty for those kinds of low bandwidth devices.

I think USB1.1 is even more than enough just for human interface devices. :P
