USB expansion?

Have a DELL XPS400.   All of the USB ports are full.
Is there a way to expand the number of USB ports?
I need at least 2 more.
 
Thanks.  Ray

Sure external USB 2 hub or a PCI USB add in card and these are pretty cheap and easy to install. Just make sure you have an empty slot for it.

Yeah, all you need is a hub. Easy enough.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any conflict involved  in having multiple devices attatched to one USB port via a hub?

If you go with an external USB hub make sure you get a powered hub.  Less headaches if you load it up with peripherals that draw power through the hub.
