USB Hub Recommendation?

[RingPop]

Hi, I have an iBook and am looking to purchase a USB hub with 4ports that will look good with my iBook. I am pretty clueless as to what I need exactly. I know I want to be able to to free up the clutter on the side of my iBook, and would like one that will be able to rest behind my iBook and not to the side. I found this one, and like the look of it. Please help me decide whether it is what I need or not. Thank you!

Id say go Belkin, they have different hub styles and designs, or d link has some good ones.

I agree, i use a nice clear Belkin 2.0 usb hub and i love it. Runs good, no problems nothing....

Also fairly stylish and sleek.

thanks for your input. so i'm guessing you do not suggest this one?

also, what is the difference between a DC adapter and a normal power adapter?

So I went ahead and bought the IOGear one, but it sucks. The picture was a bit misleading, this thing is super tiny, smaller than a credit card, and the usb plug is so **** short it doesn't bend around to the back of the laptop or anything. So I'm still looking, anyone have any more suggestions?

my d link usb hub was like $30, the usb cord is like 3 feet long, as a matter of fact, the hub hangs by it from my desk in back. mine has 7 ports, heres the 4 port model: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50007760&pfp=SEARCH
