Cube perch

[Snow White]

Yep, I get it and I must agree with you - but your explanation was a 
bit sketchy.  Make the extension the same size as the cube and put the 
ports on the back of it along with the very short cables to plug to the 
cubes ports, and fill the big hole in the back (of the cube) so the fan 
can only blow up through the cube.

This Perch is a good idea, looks great but the footprint is bloody well 
too big.  And the other problem I see is the back of the cube has that 
gaping hole for wires to pass - I don't see them pluggin that up, so 
where is all that air pushed by the fan going to? Is it flowing through 
the vents of the cube and past all that hardware inside or is is 
shooting straight out the back via the big hole?
