NZXT IU01 Puts a Super USB Hub for INSIDE Your Rig



Not exactly a 'hub', the NZXT IU01 Internal USB Expansion System‏ will allow you to graft several more USB ports into your desktop computer. This PCB based system can be attached directly to your motherboard to the standard 9-pin USB connector. Taking the 1 internal 9-pin spot on your motherboard it gives 3 in return. Each of those are able to provide 2 USB ports via a simple slot filler USB panel. If you have the card slot room in your case, you can have 4 new USB ports available on the back of your tower for a total of 6. The NZXT IU01 also asks for power from a standard power supply molex connector to feed all these new ports you're getting.

The real treat is that the NZXT card also carries 2 regular USB ports with it. With these ports you can conceal and protect any USB dongles that you might be using. Prime candidates for internal hosting are; wireless mouse and keyboard dongles, WiFi or Bluetooth dongles. All of which don't need to removed often and are either taking up space in a hub or worse yet, precariously poking out of the front or back of your case just asking to be bent or broken. This internal bag of holding will only cost you $19.99 since they seem to have spent no money on coming up with a friendly name and have passed the savings on to you.
