No, the units we use have air inlets on the front and two exhaust fans
out the rear. There are no holes in the top, bottom or sides. Info here:

In a rackmount environment you want front to back cooling. The air is
drawn in from the "cold aisle" and exhausted out the back to the "hot
aisle". Brough is probably referring to
http://www.routerboard.com/img/pricelist//79_m.png . If you notice it
has exhaust ports on the top of the rack. This is a bad idea in a
dense environment. If you have a couple of U above where you can
push that air to the back of the rack it's something, but less than ideal.

The RouterBOARD 1100s we're using have front-to-back cooling. Am I
missing something?

I'm in the market for a rackmount MT device. Don't care how many
ports (as long as it is two or more), just need something that can
rack mount. Internal power supply preferred, as well as front to back
or side to side cooling. What are these vendors thinking building
rackmount devices with top to bottom cooling? I'm looking at you
RB1000U/RB1100U/Titan Wireless Rackmount Case. They are about as
useful as an armored tank with a rag top.
