    Is there a ac adpater that has like 3 or four usbs on it so I can plug in accessories to power them?. Like I got this mini usb fridge for xmas and it would be nice to be able to use this instead of waisting a port in my hub. As well as charging my 360 controller with my play and charge kit. Thanks!! or maybe there is a power bar with built in usbs? Im looking for a good new powerbar soo.... yah thanks.

    Get another externally powered USB hub, you can buy a 7 port hub for less than $10 on ebay. Don't have to connect it to a computer.

    Or you can buy a wall charger like this, but those usually have only one port.

    I've seen USB fans, cup warmers, vacuum cleaners, and now a mini fridge… :eek: Who design these stuff :confused: What is the point of running a fridge on USB power ? maybe to keep your beverages cool while you are relaxing under the sun with your laptop :p wonder how long your battery will last. What next, a USB microwave ?
