Way to see how much current USB drawing?

Is there anyway I can monitor my USB to see how much power is currently being used? I'd just like to make sure I'm not stressing anything..
 
Ok, thanks!

Wanted to check in on my wireless USB adapter after someone said that they draw a lot of power and can eventually break the USB hardware on the motherboard. It says my adapter is drawing 500mA of 500mA available.
 
Yup, looks like you want to get a self-powered hub (one with more current available than minimum spec like 1 or 2A) to take that load off your mobo - there's nothing left for anything else...
