Attaching a USB Hub to my desk
 
I have a 5 port USB Hub which has no mounting holes im trying to attach to the side of my desk out of the way.

Things ive tried so far to attach which have fallen off are....

Superglue....
Double Sided Tape....
Gorilla Tape....
PVA Glue....
Hot Glue from a gun....

Anyone have any ideas on what else i can use?
Thanks.

I used something like this to attach a transformer on the underside of a shelf. Would this help?

Drill 2 holes in the desk and loop a cable tie round. (Or 4 holes and two cable ties if necessary)

A lot of moulded plastic gets a coating of silicone during the fabrication process. That makes it virtually impossible to stick. I rub the surface I want to apply glue to with talc or diatomaceuos earth to remove the silicone. But you have to be careful as it's easy to transfer silicone from one surface to another.
