I am considering ordering 20 of those little beauties.
Which powered USB hub should I choose? Preferably ones, which can be shipped to Europe (from Amazon/Ebay). They are going to be controlled by a PC which runs 24/7 anyway.
Would something like this do:

Anker Hubs depicted on this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195004.0
would probably also do (though I read somewhere that the latest cgminer fails with those)?
What are the USB fans in that picture and are they available in Europe?
If I can't get them, I plan to use something like this for cooling:

the fans are these -

these arent laid out as well as the ankers, but I have a few of these 7-port ones and use them to power 5 each -
