I care, but it bothers me less that the inconsiderate air flow implemented in quite a bit of network gear. Side cooling? Pulling air from the side you know will be facing the hot aisle? Seriously, the physical build of network equipment is not entirely competent.

Which - why do I have to order different part numbers for back to front airflow? It's just a fan, can't it be made reversible? Seems like that would be cheaper than stocking alternate part numbers. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
