    Ever tried Villman PC Stores? Or have you even tried looking at the various PC stores in Gilmore Cubao? How about in Greenhills?

    I'd have said go to PC Domain here at SM Fairview as they also sell those but you didn't tell us where EXACTLY in Metro Manila you were at so I told you of the three PC specialty places EVERYONE who is into PCs know of.

    um, thanks athemoe for pointing that out. I never heard of self-powered USB hub before.
    I thought there only 1 kind of usb hubs but different designs...

    Why not just go to cdr-king and buy one... i think the lowest 1 is for 120 pesos...

    Or a self-powered is a special usb hub?

    self powered draws power from a wall socket rather than from the USB host (bus powered)

    Not to be a drag, but CD-R King's stuff are often low class Generic Stuff. I once bought a gamepad from them that only cost 200Php & it only took two months before the thing went bust. When I did get a Logitech gamepad costing 950Php it's now been two years & the thing is still doing fine, except the rubber contacts on the thing needs changing, something I'm too familiar with :)

    just go to MOA, there is a pc gilmore there... Its asus@pc glimore in the 2nd floor north side. there is also a lenovo-villman or just villman at that location too... and if you want a cheap one but like cahos said, go to cdrking.

    Mostly all of the pc sections are in the north side of the sm MOA.

    LOL!

    Actually "Gilmore" in this sense is not a name of a specific shop, it's the name of an area in Cubao.
