Not necessarily.  There are other places to run cables besides through
a fan grate.

For instance, I have seen ribbon cable running through the cracks in
the back.

I vote for a good DB-3x connector.  We have some old Convergent
disk servers at work that have an old full height St-506 and 8"
floppy backup with a DB-3x(something) connector between the 
workstation and the disk server.  I would like to see something
like this.  The connector could be installed between the fans.

I would like to put the daughter board where the internal
drive is, and put both hard drives in there own cabinet with
there own power supply.
