intron or c-scape, how did you guys make your modified usb hub? I really would like to know. If it is possible, could you point me to some design? I would like to make my own and not buy pre-made.

I cheated a bit:) Took a Trust ten port USB hub (cheapest one
I could find), removed the cover, soldered wires to the positive
terminal of each USB socket connector and soldered a thick wire
to the ground plane. The wires were then connected to a 5V/30A
low-cost power supply unit. With a current clamp I measured the
current.

See picture:



And then with hex•furys:
