Does anyone know of a decent 10/100 ethernet switch with front-to-rear intake/exhaust?

I got myself a cabinet here at the switch supernap in Vegas (only paying for a 1/4 of space) and if I use any hardware that exhausts heat to the sides of the cabinet I'm required to purchase a $500 side air distribution unit that takes up another 2u of space... fuck that.

I'd rather just buy a switch that exhausts to the rear... can anyone link me to something good / used under $300? need at least 2 rj-45 uplink ports.

I found this but I don't think the uplink ports are compatible http://www.ebay.com/itm/Allied-Teles...em20d7c ba58a

Yeah, I got in over my head but fuck it... I wanted my boxes close to home

Thanks.. I can't find anything about the air flow direction on that one. I looked for some other pics and it *looks* like it takes air in from the rear and exhausts through the sides
