Hey guys,
I have a few things that need to run through USB. A laptop will be running everything, and i'd like to get away with a passive USB hub if possible to avoid wiring more stuff to a power supply (space is limited, see "Cafe au Cade" project in the projects thread for an idea, it all needs to fit under a coffee table). Plus I have a nice and compact 4 port passive USB hub that i can use.
This is what i need to run through USB:
2 x Ultimarc U360s
1 x Ipac 2 keyboard encoder
1 x USB powered 860w speakers -

What do you think, am i risking frying the laptop running all of this stuff? The main issue i imagine are the speakers as the other stuff wont be drawing too much power i wouldn't think.
