Linksys 4-Port USB hub

Anyone know where I can order this hub online, as seen here. From my searching on Google, the only stores that have it in stock have it priced ~$38. Is it worth that price? .. or can someone recommend a similar powered hub as an alternative and does it handle USB 2.0?

Well, a USB hub is a USB hub, pretty much. I have two USB 1.1 hubs, one a first-generation Belkin and one a no-name and they perofrm just the same. I don't know about USB 2.0 hubs, but if you need a USB 1.1 model, I'd say just go with the cheapest you can find. Shouldn't make a difference. Linksys is selling their name, not any real bump in quality over another model.

I have one of these link. I think it's the same thing, it even has a socket for an AC adapter in case you want it powered. Saves you some $$ too.
