Thanks - that looks pretty good. This is a stupid question, I realize, but does that come with the PCI-E riser card? The manual just says "a riser card is required" so I'm assuming I'll have to find one - probably not an issue, but I've had problems with 90 degree cards not fitting the card slots in a rack-mount chassis correctly in the past. I'd need at least a couple of additional SFP+ ports.
That routermaxx vengeance also looks pretty sweet. Thanks for all the comments folks - I didn't learn much about the Infinity, but learned a lot about how folks are deploying mikrotik, which has been helpful.
