My computer's USB port broke down after 6 years of use. I could get it repaired and soldiered, but it costs way too much for me right now. So, I've tried looking for some sort of adapter/converter I could use to change any one of my ports (particularly my Serial) to make it a place where I can connect USB devices.
I tried looking on Newegg for %26quot;serial to USB%26quot; and %26quot;USB to serial%26quot; adapters, but none seem to be the one that makes a Serial port into one where I can plug USB devices into.

How to change a Serial Port to a USB port?
You can't (serial is much, much, slower than USB). Get a PCI USB controller. It's only about $20 ( http://www.bizrate.com/iocontrollers/pro ).How to change a Serial Port to a USB port?
Probably go to Best Buy with money and asking them How to change a Serial Port to a USB port?
