kingandyBack of computer: 4
Front of computer: 2
Monitor (x2): 4
With two of the sockets at the computer rear taken up by the cables for the monitors[1], that's a potential total of 12 USB sockets right there. I'm using two (keyboard and mouse, going through the monitor for convenience).
I can't help but feel like I need more gadgets...
[1] That's for the monitor USB sockets only - there's a separate video cable. Who would use USB for a monitor connection? Don't be mental.

Date: 2006-01-05 04:56 pm (UTC)My keyboard and printer and scanner and camera and web-cam and phone link all run off USB and I've only got 2 on the back of my computer! I've now got a 4 port hub (in one of the 2), but after having the keyboard, printer, scanner and webcam permenantly linked, that still only leaves one free for me to play with!
