is there any way of doing it from adding hardware to the inside
so i dont have to have and thing sting out of the usb port?

yes it can be done.... i've done it....

just look at what can be done inside an EeePC

that should keep ya busy for a few months....

what i did was solder 4 wires from the MB connector of 1 USB port... and then connect the other end of those wires to a 4 port usb hub (taken out of it's case) and inserted the USB BLUETOOTH dongle onto the hub which is inside the PC.... and now i have 3 more internal ports for expansion like thumb drives or what ever,, (maybe a gps) can't find a good CHEAP touch screen overlay for a 15.4" so if you find a cheap one please let me know.

just be sure to block off the external port of the USB port you wired into.... in not sure what would happen if you plugged an extra device into a port that windows sees as having a USB hub "plugged" into it.. but i bet it wouldn't be good
