Happy to report there are no apparent issues with the case swap.
Everything still works. Big relief as you’ll never know what to expect with electronics when you’re trying to get something done quickly (A recipe where things usually go wrong)
As of writing the PC is using a PCI Intel E1000 network card and the SOtM PCI-e USB card. Ultimately I’ll be swapping the two cards and replace them with the PCI SOtM card and a SFP gigabit fiber network (No point running a 10 Gbps network card as the Jetway CPU cannot handle that kind of bandwidth).
The fiber connection will be from the Meraki switch (Pictured above, currently fitted with SFP Ethernet modules). Hopefully the SFP network card I’m getting will have include a half height bracket that works better with this case.
Side note, curiously my initial reaction to the sound coming out of the RJ45 module is not very positive. Maybe this impression will change in time. Stay tuned.
