The Anker is only $50. Splurge!

I think a cheap 10 port usb hub with additional power supply will do it as well. If it's connected to a PC just use the internal PSU with a molex -> DC jack adapter.
Caution: If you want to use a cheap hub like this one http://www.amazon.de/dp/B003ECC702/ref=asc_df_B003ECC70213382566?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&tag=geizhals1-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22494&creativeASIN=B003ECC702 (this one is a logilink, but there are a few other brands looking like the same, all of them with same hardware inside), you have to desold a part (have a look at the other pictures on amazon). If you don't do that the hub isn't really stable and wants to pull the power from the host if the supply fails. This can kill your usb controller

i also picked up this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2 if it does supply 4A, it should handle 7 sticks just fine: 4 Amps /500mAmps= 8, -1 for variances...
That math is incorrect; it will handle 10 Erupter Sticks just fine. Look for my post earlier in this thread about that hub.In fact, I bought that exact hub and it's sitting waiting for my sticks to arrive
Sweet!!! love being incorrect on this one!!

Also the one I have. I've tested it with other devices and it ... works like a hub should.
I expect it to meet specs though, Anker makes good stuff. Yeah, those ebay whores are the worst.

Good luck getting paid though I've had to worst time lately with people buying and refusing to pay. It takes like a week to get to the point where I've got all my fees back and can relist.
BTW - Another group buy happening soon? Don't have cash for 4 days and BTC for about a week.

Arklan:
I'm in Europe, you should be shipping me earlier rather than later. I also paid early, and extra (which you decided post-fact and I agreed to).
Are you shipping them in some particular order? I've tried to find this info but this thread has been spammed a lot and I might have missed it.
Cheerio.

Cheerio.
The bulk orders of 10 or more were given overnight shipping AND priority order. I assume when the next box of blocks arrive on Tuesday the rest of us will be sent tracking info shipped Wednesday? If arklan is prepared this time with labels and boxes and a car, perhaps they ship out Tuesday, either way the ETA is looking like Friday through next week.
spot on. boxes are ready this time, labels depend on the weight of each package and can only be ordered day of though. though with 70+ to pack, i don't know that i'll be able to get them shipped tuesday unless i can pick the box up in the morning, which i'll try to do.
On a related note, I looked back on the thread but wasn't able to see that anyone was able to find a hub that was able to power more than 5 of these things.
Did I miss something ? Does such a beast exist ? I'm starting to search on Amazon.com for something to manage all these guys, and not coming up with anything other than the 12 port hub (http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Power-Adapter-Control-Switches/dp/B0051PGX2I/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_img_y) that can power 5 of these things
Would something like this work ?

-(1) 5 V DC port - Power Adapter: Output: 5 V / 4 A
-Up to 500 mA power, all ports
i ordered and received that hub from amazon. it was delivered without the external power supply. amazon refunded my order.Did I miss something ? Does such a beast exist ?

i've got one of those too - however i only have 5 miners to test it on... handles them fine though.

In theory yes... but...

For a stable connection, the devices connected to the 12 Port hub must not exceed a combined current of 5 volt 2A
That means 4 erupters.... but i guess 5 should be fine

EDIT: Disregard, that 12 port Satechi is a pile of pewp.
Ordered two of the 28 port mondohubs. Will report back with details. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BV14ZUI)

Checking in here:
Slightly displeased I was not given earlier shipping on my one miner (I was one of the earlier orders). I suppose since shipping order wasn't explicitly written, it can be somewhat arbitrary.
A reminder that Monday is Memorial Day, so if Arklan hasn't received the units yet, he won't get them until Tuesday.
Will check back as things develop.

If any of you ebay whores...

*Checks price. Currently going for $1025*

that 1025 bid was actually from someone that thought they were getting 10 (cause they apparently cannot read). so i cancelled his bid. it's now much more reasonable at 610 (too bad i liked 1000+)
SgtMoth has taken his pitchfork out and has been flooding this thread for days on end now, and for what, one stupid unit ?
Arklan, you can refund his BTC and I will buy it, if that will shut him up and liberate this thread of his lack of proper punctuation and stupid animated gif avatar.
Thanks.

and you been a month on this forum and your already trolling....just keep attacking me, others see what your doing.
Not trolling, I am simply offering to buy your order of ONE USB stick for the price you paid so it would shut you up and get you out of this thread <3 Arklan can refund your money and I will pay him the BTC.

No shit. That's crazy! I cannot imagine that very many will sell for that kind of price (if they buyer intends to pay at all) but I've been wrong before. If it were me, I might hang out at home Tue locked and loaded with OO buckshot awaiting that second box if I could not arrange will-call.
i'm gunless, but yea, i'm gonna see if i can arrange to pick it up... hopefully i can reach them before it's on a truck. i'll try tonight and tomorrow, but i'm not hopeful.

Don't count on it, one of the things I have learned from running my group buy is that there are many more people who want these things that only have normal currency than people who have BTC to spend on them.
And by many I mean 50 to 100 times. The demand for them using normal currency is pushing the price up to 4 or even 5 times the BTC price.
