Sure does. I just added a pic of it for you.@ramst3r does the bottom panel include mounting holes for a 40mm fan?

Now see that little knock-out flap would be good to pass the SATA cabling out through and mount the thicker 2.5" 5TB drive outside the housing.Sure does. I just added a pic of it for you.
RE: the missing thermal paste/pads for the NIC chips - do you know if it is required? I can understand why the design has this elaborate aluminium heat sink but the the chips that sit adjacent to it don't have thermal paste/pads.
Whilst I agree, I dare say it's like that because there are no vent slots in the bottom plate.@p3kty I’m not sure mounting a blower fan like that will do much good since you’ve got both the intake and output of the fan inside the case. You should probably at least turn it over so it is pulling outside (cool) air.
Probably better would be a common radial fan. 4010s should fit just fine.
I didn't even notice it. Yes, good pick up. That might come in hand later.
That probably won't have a real latency difference, most performance changes from in the shape of bandwidth or packets per second, latency generally stays the same.Just saw they now how more powerful CPU options
Core i5 1135G7 and Core i7 1165G7
I currently have a N6005 unit incoming but am thinking i would get one of these as well (and use the N6005 at my parents place)
Any opinions on if I would get less latency by getting one of these new units with more powerful CPU ? (burst turbo frequency is much higher than on the N6005) (I assume the N6005 is powerfull enough for 1 GIG connection even with SNORT etc, but thinking the Core i5 or i7 might have lower latency etc)

@bhigh has a thread on the Tiger Lake units here:That probably won't have a real latency difference, most performance changes from in the shape of bandwidth or packets per second, latency generally stays the same.
The ethernet controller doesn't need cooling, and a lot of boards don't have any sort of active or passive cooling. You could put thermal pads on the chips if you're concerned about it.EXCEPT that there is no thermal paste/pad AT ALL between the NIC chips and the aluminium heatsink (refer photos). I am a noob at this stuff but this doesn't look right to me. Anyone care to comment?
HKBTM (On Amazon or AliExpress) sells a 12V 2A splitter, which is at the upper limit of how much power 802.3at can provide (25.5W) to devices. I use these to power my access points at home but I don't know if I would trust them to run the computer.Anyone have any recommendations on a POE+ splitter that can run one of these boxes.
There are options to set power, boost, and frequency limits in BIOS, but I didn't make any changes so I don't know if it would help.I don’t have the Tiger Lake so I can’t confirm if the BIOS can be configured for TDP-down to 12W, but I doubt that will help. Tiger Lake needs a better designed passive chassis, or at minimum active cooling with enough vents to breathe.
