Some interesting looking devices on ebay too, such as this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iogear-GUWIP204-Wireless-Device-Server-4PORT-USB-=
WL-SHARING-HUB-/350858455485

quoting:

IOGEAR's Wireless 4-Port USB Sharing Station enables any USB external hard
drive, USB flash drive, USB memory card reader, USB webcam, USB speaker, or
USB multi-function printer (MFP) to be shared over a Wi-Fi network among
different users. It offers the flexibility to place your USB devices
anywhere in the home or office as long as there is Wi-Fi coverage. You are
no longer constrained by the 16' feet distance limitation from your USB
devices to your computers.

I've no affiliation to seller, and no experience of the device, but I would
think it's easier than DIY :-)

HTH,
Tim.
