Sometimes I do video/music editing work and I can not tolerate the humming of the computer to any extent. So I would like to place the powerful computer itself I own far away from my desktop/room. Which you can do easily with extra long USB and DVI cables. That part works just fine; here is some extra tech. info
[wiki info start]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface The maximum length of DVI cables is not included in the specification since it is dependent on bandwidth requirements (the resolution of the image being transmitted). In general, cable lengths up to 4.5 m (15 ft) will work for displays at resolutions of 1920 x 1200. Cable lengths up to 15 m (50 ft) can be used with displays at resolutions up to 1280 x 1024. For longer distances, the use of a DVI booster is recommended to mitigate signal degradation. DVI boosters may or may not use an external power supply.

Major loss of data after a 500ft. resistance .0029 ohms with copper. Small investments like gold end caps make great improvements to quality over long distances.
They also sell amplifiers for lines which are to be repeatedly split.

Now the thing is that sometimes I would like to save stuff right from the desktop where I sit on my external USB-powered 2.5" microdrive, but even though monitors advertise fully functioning USB hubs/ports (like the HP LP2475w) they don't really work if you plug a microdrive

That is why I need to know for sure before I keep buying stuff/making technical mistakes

So, my question as stated in the heading of the thread:
~
Which LCD monitors can handle bus-powered 2.5" microdrives from their USB hubs?

Thanks
