Four port powered USB 2.0 hub - allows you to connect multiple USB devices to your computer. You can use the TARDIS as a non-powered hub by plugging it into your USB port and not using the power supply it comes with. When powered, and you plug it into the USB port on your computer, the blue light on the top lights up and when you plug anything into the TARDIS itself, it makes the classic 'dematerialisation' noise and the light slowly flashes on and off. There is a button on the back to switch the sound off if required! This fantastic item will make a great gift for any Dr Who fan or collector.

Don't Run Out of Ports
What Happens When You Run out of USB Ports?
http://live.pirillo.com - I have a USB hub hidden behind my monitors. It's a 7-port hub, but I inevitably always need yet another port. I could add another hub, sure. But that wouldn't be as fun as attaching a Squid, now would it?

Do You Like My Hubs?
poddys wrote...
These look fun, but I have my hub in my bedroom, and when it's plugged in, either to my laptop or it's power supply it has a pointless blue light on top that is really bright - it lights up the room. Consequently, I can't leave it plugged in at night or even plugged into it's power supply. Yes it's cool when it's for fun, but it's not always practical to have bright lights on any computer accessory. Great lens though, 5*****, and if I was going to get one of these hubs it would have to be the Tardis of course.
