Anyone find a suitable USB hub that is powered and has enough spacing to allow for adequate cooling?

I found this one but the power supply only provides 2A @ 5V, meaning if each port pulls 500mA you'd only have enough power to run 4 USB Block Eruptors:

Also saw this one, but could find no details as to its power supply specs:

Last this one, but the side ports don't seem useable. Also, no power supply specs either:

I'm going to use an Anker 10 port hub. 4A @ 12V. They make good quality stuff.

I got a 6000mah usb battery from "Anker" with a integrated flashlight, which died after 3-4 months of usage. (battery is fine, just the flashlight isn`t working anymore)
On these grounds i wouldn't stick my usb miners into a very cheap usb hub.
