Wow, that thing looks like a beast. $50 for the 7 port model doesn't look half bad either.
tony.silveira:
thank you for the link, that looks exactly like what i was looking for.

fyi, ive only been using hubs with their own power and they still seem to crap out on me
MonMotha:
A lot of cheap USB hubs seem to have virtually no ESD protection on them.  This can cause all sorts of flakey behavior if a port gets static zapped.  I'm guessing that high-end "industrial" hub would have all sorts of protection, but who knows.

Weird issues like this can also be a result of poor grounding causing static discharge EMI events.  Make sure all metal surfaces on your CP (and elsewhere) are tied to the earth (safety) ground line coming from the wall using heavy wire.
