> That is a neat setup. I wish someone would do this but just run RMII out to an edge connector on the back That stuck out to me too, they are making custom boards and custom chassis, surely it would be cleaner to route the networking and power through backplane instead of having gazillion tiny patch cables and random switch just hanging in there. Could also avoid the need for PoE by just having power buses in the backplane. Overall imho the point of blades is that some stuff gets offloaded to the chassis, but here the chassis doesn't seem to be doing much at all.
