[Ti] AI G4 PB Question - Right angle connectors

I agree, I hate the connectors out the sides, but that did make room 
for a much petter hinge than the Ti had.  With the Ti, I had a much 
neater set up on my desk.

I would also need a right angle DVI, which would be tricky.  In my 
set up I have DVI, FW,USB, and Ethernet all coming out the right, and 
power on the left.  Takes up a lot of room with cables.

I am not a fan of docking stations, but I think that would be better 
than the cables out the side.  maybe some sort of a mini dock for 
each side would be good.
