Just for completeness' sake -
Its working fine:)

I missed this the first time around, I think. Obviously what you're doing *works* but is strongly advised against because ... cabling hell.

You haven't posted any pix so please don't take offense at what I'm about to say, in case it was obvious, but be sure to do a really good job of cabling, ideally including making sure that all cabled are tied down in a manner that they aren't stressed at the connectors or easily dislodged.

No offense taken, good points & you wouldn't approve;)

I agree ;)


It works, cables are not stressed, it wont be moved much in the rack but it sure ain't pretty :p
