Hi all, I'm struggling to find what I'm looking for, I might just be blind though! The USB ports at the front of my case, 3/4 of now broken after years of abuse (two ruined my headset cable yanks, one by someone rest their foot on my PC and bending the port down!!).

I would like a 4/6/8 USB hub that can sit on my desk, with a decent length cable that goes direct to motherboard header, rather than into an existing USB 3.0.

I believe this way it wouldn't need external power also?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Thanks, I'm aware of that option but I was looking to cut out all that and have an option that goes straight to the motherboard. I don't want 5 items going through one port on the case really, I also want to avoid an external power supply.

Cheers anyway! Dan

Almost everything out there is either a drive-bay adapter or a slot cover adapter. Nothing I have ever seen was a plug into the mobo header USB hub (but hey - there could be one.....)

Most USB 3.0 Hubs are powered (you don't have to use the power adapter unless you want fast charging of USB devices - 2.0A output).
