I have 5 USB ports in use. My Fiance has 9. I kidded her recently, because she has basically run out of USB ports, so I just bought one of those PCI slot adapters that has 4 USB ports. It looks somewhat comical if you look back there and see all the wires.

EDITED mine to change 4 to 5. I had forgotten about the UPS USB attachment.

Always filled:
