I have a 4-input USB Hub that I wish to get off my work space and mount underneath. What would be the best solution for such a mounting position.
My first thought would be to mount it directly upon a piece of plywood with TieWraps (ZipTies) and tomount the plywood. But then I figured to ask here.

There are many ways to mount a hub under your desk.
Does the hub have any key-way style screw holes in the bottom of the case?
If so, you can use a couple of pan head screws and slide the hub over the screw heads.
If you plan this as a permanent installation, double stick foam tape works very well.
Along the same lines, you can get various style cable tie mounts that either stick or screw to your desk, and then use cable ties to secure the hub to the mounts.
You can also get cable ties with a boss in the end of them securing the cable tie to a surface with a screw.
Do you have another use for the hub?
If so, consider installing a hub that mounts in a spare drive bay.
Or, install a 4 port USB 2.0 card.

The best way is the way that makes it easy for you to remove it in case of trouble.
There is nothing like having to get down and crawl around on the floor to try and fix something.
