Front IO area on 8400 & 370... anyone have a photo?

I'm trying to get a feel for the 8400 vs 370 towers in terms of the
front IO panel area... behind the hinged access door. I've found
some rough drawings in the system docs, but photos would be nice
and I can't seem to find any. Anyone have a pic or a shiny new
camera they are dying to try out?

with the other model.

If the case is on the floor, they are pretty inaccessible, the door
blocks access. The plugs are recessed and it even laying of the floor I
could not be sure how to insert a USB stick drive. I personally use the
ports on the side of my DELL monitor.

Yup... that's what I was looking for. One of the things I wanted to
have a look at is the position of the vent holes wrt the slits in the
plastic bezel. The pics helped... thank you!
