I got really carried away, and decided to eliminate some of the cords running around my warehouse to these things, each case can only run 6 currently how i have them layed out. I also have a center flat sheat of mental that runs over the cords so you can see them. and now only 2 cords run from the case, a power and a usb from the hub inside to the main usb hub (wasnt sure at first if a hub to hub would work but 48hours later and not a issue)
All in all if you dont mind the wires, then i wouldnt recommend. but wires and the clutter really irritates me so hiding them all in a case really helps eliminate the issue. These also have lids but until im able to config a full blow lid to allow heat to escape and then be able to stack them, it will sit how it currently is with a some what open top
