USB hubs *sigh*
I needed USB hubs so I dived onto Scan and found their "Hot Selling" line - 7 ports for about six quid. Perfect, so I bought three.
I wasn't quite expecting this.  Turn the light off in here and it's even more impressive.  They glow all the time whether the ports are active or not and the light in the middle continuously pulses and changes colour. LMF thinks they're awesome, I'm already working out how to get them apart and give the insides a thick coating of black! Everyone round to my shack for a disco?

What on earth are you doing that requires more than the 9 or 10 USB ports most machines come with these days?

My Mac Pro has three USB ports on the back.

Insulation tape around the outside will dull them until you have time to get them apart (even if it does look ugly). That's what I do with glowing USB cables.

Oh my good god. I'd be ripping them to pieces and either spray painting the inside of the case black or attacking the LED's with my soldering iron.
