A game controller and external mouse would fill up three USB ports on the machine. My reply: Ummm...How exactly do you figure that. That's only two ports as far as I can see. One for the game controller and one for the mouse.

If I had to connect any more external devices I wouldn't be surprised if it exploded with the amount of required power to run everything. Lol. My reply: I know the feeling. My laptop is in a similar situation. However, the most practical answer to that problem is to simply unhook whatever it is you are not using and hook up your game controller. Sheesh, its not like you can't do without an external hard drive or midi keyboard for a couple of hours. Cheers!
