Good - thanks for the input, but my pcb designer likes to have mounting holes on all corners to support the ethernet cabling.

Yes, my boards have the holes on all four corners as well.

Of course, no one would use ExpressPCB for production quantities of PCBs.

While I'm sure the Futurelec board is a nice one, I doubt that it has the convenient RJ45 connectors nor the self power that were part of my design criteria.
