Most of them have no amps of course. Its à splitter so it splits only what your usb port can give. Which is usually 500 mA per port as long as they are not thé superposés one on the motherboard. That's also why they have a connecter for an external 5volts source.

There is not too much to explain, unfortunately here in Germany Pc's parts are expensive, if you buy it on amazon you could pay a 10€/20€ less but i prefer to buy directly at the Pc shop because:

1 - the PC shop it's just 1 minute from where i live (walking)

2 - if any component has to be replaced because it's broken i don't have to be calling Amazon and explaining what happened and sending the broken component to them and waiting that they send it back to me ect ect ect.

Got a new celly. LeEco Le Max 2 has pretty decent specs. Comes with a SD820, 4g Ram, 32g of space, 2k screen and best of all only $219 US, only downfall is crappy software with boatloads of Chinese bloatware but nothing a custom ROM can't fix.

Phones now a days are so overpriced, I'm cheap and never gonna pay the premium manufactures like Samsung, Apple and the likes want for their phones. Cheap phones come with their caveats but I'm willing to deal with em if it means saving money. "Moar Money Moar Beer" that my motto.

Sparkomatic SK63 brand new in box with original bill of Canadian Tire store. 39.99$ Canadian in 1996. A guy I know is an ebenist antique furnitures restoration expert. He need a good computer so I made a deal with him to build me bookshelf boxes in exchange of a computer. These will be on top of thé speakers face and on lower part I have 8 inches subs. Connected to a Pioneer GM-X332 car amp powered by a computer psu.

JunkBear · Nov 18, 2016

Got it two months ago and I forgot it in à box. 17$ Canadian at an auction and still working well. Maybe gonna change thé two tiny fans but everything else is fine. How were they rated back then?

Picked up a cheap Aerocool V2X and an Enermax NAXN 500W PSU today. Carrying both for 7.5km back and forth was a b**ch. I have to find some way to get exercise other than cycling anyways. Gonna build a computer for Christmas.
