Multi Port USB Charger/Party Light/power suppily

I have wanting to make this project for a long time now, so when the USB contest came along it gave me a good reason to make it.
After making it I have been testing it to see how many things it can charge/power. I have up to the writing of this charged a cell phone,a mp3 player and and have powered my USB speakers with it.,all at the same time.
This really just just a a USB hub with a external power source and no date connection. You can buy a USB hub that comes with its own power supply for about 20-25 US dollars that will do the same thing as this project, but with out the awesome party light. I'm planing to make another one using a powered USB hub and a table lamp, I will wright write that one up when I get a chance to making it.

**** Added Comment ****
I thank Siamonez for his comment of"why". It made me realize that I need to add to my introduction.
I mainly made this so that I could use my USB speakers and my mp3 player as a home stereo and to have one central place to charge things that I could turn off when not in use and save on my power bill. 
Pulse with more and more things either being powered by or being able to be charge from a USB port it just seemed to me that it would be nice to be able to use them without having to turn my computer on (which is a net book right now).

why...

I mainly wanted to make this to power my USB speakers so I could use them for my mp3 player, as my home stereo died on me a while back and don't have any money right now to replace it. Pulse my only computer is a net book and is not the best for charging things. This also provides one central location for charging things that also be turned off when not in use, but can stay be plugged in and not still draw power like most plug into the wall chargers thus raising your power bill. The light is there to remind you that it is on and using power. When you are done charging/powering what ever you are using you just turn off the power and save money. That's why.
