Hi Patrick

better airflow vs. nice/easy cabling

better airflow    = less HW issues
                  = less impact
                  = equip. lives longer 
                  = saves finally money

nice/easy cabling = nice to see
                  = less cable problems
                  = faster changes/troubleshooting on HW-side

So my vote is clear for better airflow.

Cheers,
Günti
