I think someone else mentioned powered USB hubs and I highly recommend
those. For anything requiring significant power (hard drives, external
CD/DVD drives, etc.) I always use a powered hub. The only things that
get plugged in directly are things like network dongles and what
essentially amount to thumb drives (e.g. cell phones where I'm just
moving data to/from them and not recharging).
