Price of the Freerunner spare parts

[Al Johnson]

Depends on the USB port. You may end up blowing some protection on your 
motherboard, or worse. OTOH it may be just fine - my HP laptop has one port 
rated at 2A to power external DVD and HDD. Most devices that draw >500mA have 
a Y-cable so they can pull power from 2 sockets.
