Hi everyone, I'm looking for a USB hub. I"ll be using it on my notebook when I run out of USB ports (not many ports at all on my G73) and also for my Xbox. I need it to have a pretty long cord, like 3-5ft if possible because I'd like to plug it in to my Xbox and run it right under my desk so I can easily plug my flash drive into it. At least 4 ports on it would be nice, and I'm looking to spend around 20-30 bucks. I've found many affordable hubs, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of one with a super long cord. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Here is a 7-port hub that also includes the AC adapter. You can buy it and a USB extension or separate long cable from the same site for a total of about $20 including shipping.
