Century's 16-port USB 2.0 hub for two PCs sounds like nirvana for USB junkies. Although 16 poirts sounds like an awful lot, I'm continually surprised at how many ports I need, and more surprised still at the fact that many of the ports are not being used for a USB device, per se.

For example, off the back on machine I have the usual keyboard and mouse, plus some USB speakers. I also have a phone charger and the charger for my Bluetooth headset. Those last two could sap a lot of power, but probably less than the portable USB drive I use as a backup device.
