I don't get why a lot of people are complaining about the ethernet port placement. If you're going to rackmount it, isn't it easier to have ethernet in front just like many rackmount switches are setup?
Spondoolies-tech also has their ethernet port up front for their rackmount miners.
that depends on how you setup your server racks.. i personally put my switches that i use to connect to my servers in the back top of the racks so the ports face the back of the racks. this makes for much cleaner cabling to the servers because servers have their ports located in the back of the racks.. now my mdf's (core switches) and idf's (access switches) i put the switches in the front of the racks. that is because is better for cabling from the patch panels to the switches.
