[plug] Perth CBD - Need good (cheap) powered usb hub for bitcoin mining

[Jacob Jarick]

Ben nice suggestion :)

I have 1 at home already, scored from Austins for $35.
The only issue wit these is spacing, can only fit 4 of these block eruptors
unfortunately (unless you start using usb extension cables).
