I have a handful of cellphone and USB devices.

Consequently, I am looking for a strip of 5 to 10 USB power only slots, which can be installed in a desktop, and perhaps mounted in a disc slot. They should be 2.1 amp capable.

Does anyone know where I can get something like this?

An unusual request. You can find many different types of stand alone multi USB charging adapters and strips. Here are few:

Thanks. I have seen those. Specifically, I am looking for something which might be a discrete strip, which I can power from the computer's power supply.

Motherboard solutions are not good, because they are often limited to 1 A or less, and ideally this would have each USB capable of 2.1 amp or more.

Some interesting specs on USB power delivery can be found here.

Unless you have a power supply in your system designed for the USB Power Delivery Specification and the high number of ports, you might quickly get into trouble with that many devices actually connected for the purposes of charging.

You mention 2.1 amps or more (at 5v which USB provides), which is 10.5 watts per device, or 105 watts for 10 ports - that is a LOT of load to deliver from the 5v supply, in addition to the requirements of the motherboard and non-USB devices!

That would in fact exceed all but the USB 3.1 type C specifications, per port. In the aggregate you would surely require a non-standard PS for most systems.

I think you should look at an external self-powered hub device and not try to power them from the system PS, nor mount them internally which would also add cooling load to the system.

I would prefer having a charging station away from my computer but to each his own. I'm not aware of anything like the OP described.

My cell phone and ipad USB power adapters can source 2A @ 5VDC which might be where the requirement was derived from. They will not pull that much and next time I charge one I will check with my USB ammeter.

There are molex to USB adapters but not in the quantities desired. Depending on your PSU 5 VDC current rating/usage a molex pin can technically handle 11 amps so that one connector can power 5 USB ports @ 2.1 amps. I will have to look at the size of the wire again to see what max current can be safely used. I didn't look at what SATA power connectors are rated for. This looks like a do it yourself project.

P.S So with 18ga wire I would limit the current to 8 amps.
