2.4kg USB Hub, in 'Gold Bar' Style

Argh... Japanese has another weird USB hub idea - a gold ingot USB hub. Weighing at 2.4kg, the 8-port USB hub is the heaviest in its category even though it doesn't have an ounce of gold. All ports point to the same direction, but at such weight, the hub will unlikely to trip over even with USB dongles occupying the ports. The manufacturer Thanko listed the hub at ¥5,980 or $52. The so-called 'gold hub' measures at 19.6 x 7.3 x 4.9cm, and has a AC plug for external power adapter. I think I'm going to stick with Belkin's.
