This hub seems to work with 4 or 5 erupters. The power supply is 2A but I can't find any specs on max total power draw. I have one with 4 erupters and a USB fan, and a second with 5 erupters. It's only been running for about 20 minutes, so there is still time for something to blow up.

I'm running cgminer 3.3.1 with the following conf file. If anybody needs the conf file settings, these work. I had a difficult time finding a conf file since most people seem to prefer the command line. I prefer the conf files because of how easy it is to configure backup pools. Note that there are no icarus settings in this conf - this is a VERY basic conf file. The icarus settings are apparently not needed with the new(er) cgminer versions.
