The 4 port PCI card does not look like the spacing between the ports is enough to fit the USB erupter.
RE the 10 port thing, a better deal is the DUB7 which reliably runs six erupter plus a fan, total of seven. (and it is much cheaper like $27 each) The 10 port unit could work nicely with the right power supply but you know they don't have it.

I bought 5 of the Orico/Juiced on Monday and just went back to by more. Someone must have bought the rest from the same place as they are sold out. Probably will use an artic fan in the 10th spot if its flaky.
You cant run 9 erupters + fan, it will crap out

I've had mixed results with Juiced... They're definitely good for 9 ports filled with erupters. The 10th is finicky... I'm actually going to have one I bought for testing exchanged to see if its the hub itself..

What's the power specs on the usb hub?

I'd likely be in for 2-3 of the 10 port hubs depending on ETA.

Hi everyone,
I am investigating into buying a large quantity of PCI-E to USB hubs for users looking to upgrade/modify their Bitcoin rigs. More or less, the PCI-E to USB hub turns your former GPU slot into a USB hub for K1/ASICMiner Block Erupters.
There are a few makes and models that I can purchase from the factory, but are generally similar, between a few styles.
I'd like to see if there's interest in this from Bitcointalk members. Given the price drops on the USBs, I imagine a lot of people want/need hubs and handlers for them.
I'm (also) working on a large order of the "Juiced" 10-port hubs. The dirty secret is that there are generally two or three manufacturers of these type of 10-port, USB 3.0 hubs that are powerful enough to handle 10 USBs. They aren't cheap, but everyone is seemingly sold out, which means a direct buy from the factory may yield cheaper prices, if not a guarantee that they're at least available.
So here's what I'm looking at:
These are also available in a vertical configuration, but cost about $2 more at wholesale. Group buy price on these would be about $12.50 USD + shipping if I can get enough orders (MOQ is 200, but I can absorb probably half of that myself)
For the loved Juiced" brand hubs (which I believe are actually re-branded Orico's), I have the following pictures of em:
The price on these is (sadly) not very cheap at wholesale, so these could be sold at $45 + shipping in a group buy (I'm getting ready to order 50 of them, with 25 already accounted for). Would there be any interest from anyone here for these models? There are a few companies that sell these models at a slight discount at very high volumes. The price could probably be dropped to $44 or $43/ea if enough were purchased via a pre-order.
If you're interested, feel free to comment. I need to check shipping prices, but I usually deal with USPS on these.. I would imagine that a significant number could be fit into either a Regional A box, or a Medium Flat Rate box (so up to $12 shipping).
