The important thing to remember about USB cables is that you can cut them open and do whatever you want. If you can solder, you can hook up the power and ground to anything with 5V.

Honestly that's a totally valid reason to make something like this. This is super cool.

In my tiny 4 Pi cluster I'm using a regular 1U server PSU. It supplies 5v and can easily supply the current needed for the four Pis.
