What would you do with this hub?

[MohawkAngel]

I just have 2 computers in my room so im using my old D-Link WBR-1310 but I would use this for small lan parties between friends.

Anybody wanna be my friend??? Make reservation now only 23 places remaining

What would you do with this old hub? No configuration needed it handle the switching by itself.

1) Take out the pcb with all the ports on it.
2) Pitch the rest (or maybe fill the case with dirt and use it to start early garden plants indoors).
3) Mod your case side panel so it looks like you have 24 ports built into your rig.
4) Tell people nothing is in them because it's terabit ethernet and you can't find any compatible devices for it.
5) Watch your e-peen grow to massive proportions.

I typically skip directly to step 5... Anyway, nothing very special there with only 10mbs hub altough a LAN on that would still be fine if you didn't have to send any game updates/patches to everyone. Personally, I'd take out the PCB's and make them into wall art along with the rest of my completely obsolete parts. The power supply might actually be useful for some project. I'm assuming it takes 120/230 VAC input and maybe puts out 12VDC.

Edit: I assumed it was a switch, if it is truely only a hub then drop that sucker off a really tall bridge/building and watch the carnage. I've pitched an old CRT monitor from a car going 75mph before. It actually survived two pretty good bounces before its spectacular death with glass and plastic everywhere.

I was serious (except for the e-peen comment)

not 22? as one is uplink

No its a hub with uplink switchable to put another hub on it with straight and cross-over cable you just have to trigger the switch the way you want it. But since its a hub also you can put the incoming internet cable anywhere nad still have the 23 free other ports. I tested it.

Finally after reading the answers it could be good for a lan party poker game

At a LAN party, if everyone is connecting to a single server for the game, it will work just like a 10mb switch (a switch is really only advantagious if you have more than one source->destination pair ... although newer switches handle data throughput better than old ones).

You should be able to play any games fine.
