I was going to get the Linksys, it's only $10, but it requires a AC for devices that use a power supply(I think). I have a webcam, and a printer, and a digital camera that need to connect to it. Would these draw power through the port?(If you have the Linksys, you know what I mean). If not, whats a really good cheap one?

Thanks in advance.

The printer has it's own power supply, so no... the webcam and digital camera are definitly powered devices though, so you will need a usb hub with an AC adapter. There are no more expencive models that will power it without an AC adapter. For $10, I think it's the one you should get

you want one with an AC adapter. you make "break" or "disable" an unpowered hub if you have all those devices plugged in such that you cant use them unless you unplug them.
