49-port Uber-USB Hub... Are You Kidding Me?

To match the number of ports on this so-called hub module, you would need seven Belkin 7-port USB hub or LaCie Core7. This massive USB hub board (warning: PDF) even requires a standard ATX power supply to feed enough juice for all full-powered USB ports, each of which can draw as much as 500mA current.

So, the million question is... who would need 49 USB ports on his desktop? Sarcastically speaking, it's unlikely you have 49 USB batteries to recharge simultaneously, or to warm up the feet of 49 people at the same time. But on a second thought, this 1.1 lb. USB module is just something flash drive duplicator companies may drool for.
