Any ideas on how to mount a small USB hub to the front of my case? Glue isn't holding and I don't want to drill any holes.

If your case is made of steel use some magnets.

Why not build an entire case out of LEGO?

use the stuff at work alot, it works great for bonding plastic, treated metals, and painted surfaces. just make sure you follow the datasheet for application.

There are many types of glue. Many of which can take thousands of pounds of load

What are the substrates? Is the case plastic glass or metal?

What kind of glue did you use?
Glue should be stronger than screws if you applied the correct one correctly
The surface area of a glued surface is way huger than the surface area of a screw's threads.

it would cost, like, 2 billion dollars.

outdoor or carpet grade double-sided adhesive

Alternatively, just get a USB extension cable.

Buy on if these from Walmart, melt it a bit and embed the hub in the melt. When it cools you can suction cup it to you PC's frontbum bussy

Run 2-3 zip ties around the long edge of the hub to make a crude webbing then use one or two long ones through the intake grills to secure it to the case.

3M Dual Lock

I've been using it stick hard drives and USB hubs to the back of my laptop for 5 years. Does not wear out, things don't droop or wiggle, and the adhesive is still strong. And it has a satisfying click when you attach stuff. It's leagues better than velcro.

Heavy double sided tape. I do the exact same thing you're trying to do.

if your case is steel, an adhesive magnet should work

Are you fagets seriously suggesting putting a magnet near an USB hub?
