Topic: Making your own USB Hub for mining (Read 779 times)
No need. Here it is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/modifying-a-usb-hub-for-extra-power-and-i-did-it-showoff-thread-1152953 simple search yielded this result. Doesn't seem too complicated but the end result is money saved off of buying some overpriced hub.
Oh, in that case yeah I and several others have done that. Phil posted a thread a while back about hub options for 2Pacs, and I think someone in there linked to a thread AJRGale (maybe?) did about rebuilding a hub for stick miners.
I wasn't sure if you meant rebuilt an existing hub, or built a new hub from scratch. I've done the one and am working on doing the other, but wasn't sure how to answer your question accurately.

Sweet thanks!! I will have to dive through Phil's posts to see if I can find it. I do vaguely remember that post he had pictures to I believe.

When you say "build" what exactly do you mean?
I was going to tear my 10 USB hub apart and run higher gage wires for power. Perhaps glue them to a wood frame or something.
