4-port USB hub - $6.95 @ Compgeeks

4-port USB Hub in Geek Blue w/Power for MAC/PC's (Less Cables)
http://www.compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=ModemsTelephony&sku=205-5047K

Seems like a good deal AFAIK, belkin USB hubs normally run $15-$30, correct? Similar belkin hubs w/ cables (note: this one has no USB cables) run about $50. Plus, compgeeks seems reputable, most people like them...

Good deal They have em here at walmart that are similar 29.95

 

[ckelly5]

yeah, but how much are USB cables?
I think the better deal here is the same hub with cables (afaik) for $15.

you can get a cheap 5 dollar usb cable from outpost.com with free overnight shipping. no tax for people in california too! (i just added that in cuz most warehouses/companies are in CA. thank goodness for onvia and outpost!)

 

[DragonSlayer81]

Nice Find! Thanks!

 

[popeye44]

I'd also mention i found USB cables at Onvia for a real decent price as well..
not as cheap as outpost but under 7 i think..

 

[vinnyracer]

you can get 2 usb cables at costco for $6 (a-a, a-b, I think)

 

[w3b]

needed one for my laptop. thanks for the deal.

 

[Bob61]

Nice deal...

 

[db]

Yeah, thanks.

 

[randomlinh]

shipping is $6 for one that's $13, + $5, == $18.. not too bad. i have a spare a-b cable i think, so it's $13..

 

[IronMike]

Two days earlier I got this unit at an auction for $30. shipped, and I thought it was cheap. Doggone it!

 

[Tseng]

I currently don't need it, but the price is so right. I am buying one just for the price's sake.

I got the Cnet 4 port hub for free, after rebate, at Cybrerebate. It's self powered and comes with a A to B cable. Very nice quality.

The usual cyberrebate blah, blah, blah.

 

[bygdaddy]

Just for the well dressed slow learners...what's the difference between the a/a, a/b cables.

 

[db]

different ends, i believe.

 

[Branded]

Healey; what did you overpay at cyberrebate ? I am tired of rebates, will pay a little extra to not worry about them. By the way, don't forget the 10% discount for using a Mastercard at compgeeks.com. techbargains has the details.

 

[ZeroBurn]

awesome, i picked one up for my bro. i needed one of these myself earlier, but then fortunately i got a cusl2

 

[randomlinh]

the $230 4 port hub at cyberrebate ? I went there, and it was listed at $229.99.. i started cracking up so hard.. my roommate was just looking at me.

 

[ZeroBurn]

cyberrebate is such a joke, overpriced crap they don't send the rebate back for months. by the time you do get it back it's depreciated to nothing

 

[goog40]

Actually using ebates and dash you can get paid over $25 for doing the $230 rebate thing from cyberrebate, but that would be way too much hassle for a few bucks.

 

[ZeroBurn]

i think i'd rather stay at work an extra hour or two and get my money right away =D

 

[Stardog]

Nice find! Picked up 6 of em. Will make a nice FleaBay item.

Thanks!

uh guys.... I just received 5 of my USB hubs.... and 5 of the power supplies are not by belkin... AND THEY DON'T FIT!!!!!!! so they are 5 unpowered usb hubs with a generic power supply. Ya, I sure did get a usb hub and a power supply, doesn't mean they are ment for each other... copm geeks sucks... I'm calling my mommy....

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#@$!@#%&^%#&$)(%^@$%T@IG%@$%T@I$C(#@

I guess I could splice and dice the connector and put a new one on...

I'll see If I could complain and have them ship a new set out or something... 7 buck for non-powered is ok too I guess..

Smokin T.

 

[ckelly5]

got mine today. power supply isn't from belkin (I guess) but it has no problem fitting. hooked it up to the A-B cable I got from outpost and thing works like a charm under win2k. very sweet deal!!!
