I might need to get another power supply or adapter, since the cooling pad for my laptop uses the same size adapter. Probably more power is all that is needed. I have 3 usb 3.0 ports on my machine, but they get used up fast. I try to use a single machine to do too many different things. The simple, easy solution is that I need to get myself moved into a bigger place, somewhere that I can have a nerd cave, a room where I would have several machines running. For the present, though, I must make do.
