USB port extension

Because ports are at a premium on tiny mini PCs like this, a USB port extension/hub is basically mandatory once you add a capture card, webcam, and mic. I mentioned it because it’s the easiest way to stop playing musical chairs with your USB ports.

Pros

+Expands limited USB ports on mini PCs
+Helps connect capture card, webcam, and other peripherals at once

Cons

-A cheap hub can introduce stability issues if it can’t handle bandwidth/power
-Adds more cables to an otherwise clean setup
