Mounted USB Hub for laptop

Hello, Well I got an old useless laptop, nobody wanted it because it was very slow, but I thought it can be useful for me, specially for college works or presentations, but a problem I found is that it only have two USB ports, different from modern laptops, that usually have 4 USB ports and a card reader, and to find a place to put a USB hub was also a problem, so I decided to mount one on my laptop

Step 1 Gettin started, order of the slots

What you will need is:

-An USB Hub
-Duct tape
-Hot Glue
-Soldering Iron
-Solder
-Plywood or plastic sheet

First, you will disassemble the USB Hub, I used a card reader-3 USB slots Hub, and separate the card slots form USB slots, and decide which will be their final position. Then cut on the plywood the pieces for the new box and cut the holes for the card and USB slots, and glue them to their respective positions.

Sorry there are no images for the USB Hub disassemble, but I decided to create a instructable for it after I glued the slots.
