LTC on litecoinpool.org, one worker, total hashrate ca 53Mh/s. This gives about 0.0072LTC/day or 1.8USD or a 13mo ROI assuming that the profitability stays constant and ignoring the costs of the hub and other peripherals as well as shipment and duties I had to pay. In practice I have hedged my "investment" with LTC/BTC because otherwise there will never be a return.

You've done the math, lennyNO! Smart thinking, hedging LTC/BTC.

I have a 19port 40A Eyeboot hub, because that was the only thing I could get my hands on at the time. Expensive as it is, it wasn't the best buy, mostly because I cannot run all 11 full blast, I think it is the powersupply that is halting. If I run all at 900Mhz and say each draws 15W, it is a total current of 33A. That doesn't seem to fly, and MLDs start to drop out. But 4x900Mhz+7x832Mhz works just ok, and that's fine too. I don't have wattmeter to check how much I am actually consuming.

In my mind there must be a great market for low-cost (diy?) tailor-made MLD2 USB hubs, with the right spacing between USB sockets so all can be used, and with serious power!

I was wondering if such a hub existed but it wouldn't make much sense unless explicitly designed for MLD2s.
Which is a better solution: a USB hub with a custom external fan setup, or a custom-spaced USB hub?
