I got a USB hub but the cord is too short and I don't want it. This is my computer: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/gateway-dx4200-09/4505-3118_7-33513602.html The back picture has slots for PCI. How do you connect it? Do you have to open the computer or something? Is it easy?
I'm thinking about one of these:

Any suggestions? I'm so confused if I should just keep the hub or return it and get a PCI card.
Hopefully fixed links:

Sorry the links aren't working. I don't know why... weird.
PS: those best buy links are not working.
update: the links still don't work.
