What am I missing?  Is this to make it easier to swap panels?

Yes.

It also makes it easier to build converter boxes.

ChadTower:

Very nice.   :cheers:

Are the Max and Eco versions still going to be avaliable?

Yes.  The MAX version will remain unchanged, but this new board design will spawn a couple of other styles that we'll be offering soon.  For instance, a solder ECO that will be much easier to solder than the current Eco.  Even though the larger board will increase the Eco price by about a dollar, it will be worth ten times that in ease of use.  The Eco's will also become repairable as CPU sockets will be standard with this style.

The future of the smaller Eco board is unknown at this time, but the new Eco design is likely to supersede them unless there are objections from our OEMs.

WOW.

That's cool, and makes so much sense when you think of it... cut the 25-pin cable in half and get to use both halves!

I'd thought about doing something like this a few years back when I was going to build a modular CP, but gave up when I got bogged down in thinking about how many DB9s/DB25s I'd have to hack up in order to get all the various panel modules plugged in, and how I'd have to wire all of the plugs up to the IPAC4 I was working with at the time.

Having it all on-board just makes life so much simpler.  And cheaper too.... I can generally find old 25-pin cables around here far cheaper than I can plain old wire.

Cool!
