Firewire/USB Hub recommendation

Hello,

The wires are becoming a nuisance. I would love a single hub that has multiple USB and Firewire ports with some on the back (for non-portable devices) and some on the front.

Any recommendations?
 
I haven't seen a USB/FireWire hub, although there are several PCI cards with both. You could duck tape a USB hub to a fireWire hub, so that's all one unit :)
There's no real way to cut down on the total number of wires. A multi-use hub, if one exists, would still need the same number of cables, but you would have some options to move the hub further from your system, out of the way, and totally inconvenient. ;)
 
I haven't seen any dual hubs either. You could get two hubs and put them on opposite sides of your computer; you could stick your devices to the wall (would really elminiate clutter, if they're light enough); you could get Bluetooth devices (or adaptors, possibly). But a hub wouldn't remove clutter, just allow more of it.
 
There are devices like this hub.

I understand I am not eliminating clutter or wires, but I would be simplifying the setup and I could stop playing the wire swapping game.
