[clue] USB power supply.

I bought a USB power supply (plugs into the wall, has 2 USB ports for power) but it doesn't work
very well. It seems to fall over after leaving it running a Pi for a while.
As I was thinking about replacements it occurs to me that I have some old ATX supplies that have 5v
outputs. I looked a bit for a little board with 4 or so USB jacks that I could hook up to one. I
didn't find much but there ought to be something used to extend the USB headers on a motherboard out
to the case.
Then I realized that I have an old USB 1.0 hub and that should work fine for giving me 4 ports,
since all I need is power. So then I only need one jack to connect to the supply, or I can cut the
end off the hub. I think I'll work on that a bit.
Anyone know a better way?
