Rotten design. Not only is it unattractive, if the LVDS slots are in use... you cant access the USB ports 2 and 3 without a lot of difficulty. And the expansion module! The USB outputs on the base module dont match, but would require wires crossing sideways and OVER the audio ports. The orientation of this device is horrible. Which is the front? With the power plug. No. Cant be. Oh, it is. There are the lights. This is one of the worst designs I've ever seen. Where is the mounting plate?
