Im struggling to find a USB hub that has at least four 2A ports.

Let me make this very clear, I want a hub, not a charger.

I already have a charger that can do this, I want a hub that connects to my computer.

 

Here is an example: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HUBTPL0720/TP-LINK-USB-30-7-Port-Hub-with-2-Charging-Ports-UH

I need two of these to get 4 decent charging ports, but I want them in one package.

the one you posted before was good. now i just need to find if ther eis anything cheaper.

That one was good coz it uses the standard, i think its called IEC, appliance power socket so I dont need to buy an adapter, I can use one of my spare cords.

There was one downside and that is it has a fan, might have to mod it.

I edited my comment because It didn't look like the one from before had data transfer capabilities.

That's pretty close, I wonder how much difference .1a really makes.

i was actually looking at this on pbtech.co.nz. its $69NZD there + $5 shipping. I like it but...

I don't really know what they're trying to get 2.1A out of 4 ports for though. 

its 2A out of any port, but only one port at a time, hence the selector switch.

 

At this price id rather buy a 5V transformer and build/modify a cheap hub. The current and voltage displays can be done with a pair of cheap $5 to $10 multimeters. I think I might do this and throw it into an empty PCI slot.

Wait, what do you mean it's only out one port at a time? The selector switch is for the LCD to switch between readouts. 

 

EDIT: Oh... crap. Output : DC 5V / 3.5A

yep,  this might be a good product as not all tablets & phones will need 2A at the same time, charging over night for example. If the switch is only for the display then it might be a winner, except the for the price; i might just buy a USB3 PCIe card and modify it
