31-port USB hub — 12 is so yesterday
In response to yesterday's featured 12-port hub, Res Ipsa Loquitur (@mchangesq) tweeted "Try 31 ports. 2.0-compatible."
"Five USB HUB boards and +5V power supply unit are stacked up."
15 ports on one side,
16 on the other.
Aluminum chassis:
"Fill all 31 ports with USB devices! Cables look like spaghetti!"
Below, a screen shot of the device manager.
Creator Sasaki Shunsuke gives directions and answers FAQ here, among them:
Q. I want this HUB! Do you make another one and sell it to me?
A. No. I Don't have enough time to make another one, and I don't want to sell off my one.
You can too!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference 31-port USB hub — 12 is so yesterday:
Comments
Less than $50.00 for 23 ports (don't forget the one lost to daisy-chain) and less than $550 for the max (with the stick hubs) of 253 ports all hanging off of a single controller.
My days of building regulated power supplies and assembling this array from scratch are pretty well over.
I would mount all 12 USB bar-hubs neatly by using double-stick foam tape to form a nice block and would mount it in some nice panel where all of the power bricks, the assorted power strips and big ass UPS would be nicely concealed.
I hope that I never need the modern equivalent of an old telephone patch-board for USB devices!
