We will have only the version with the mains inlet at the rear panel in
stock. From our experience this is the most wanted version (e.g. for the
standard suitcases more than 90% of the orders are for version 2 with the
mains inlet at the rear panel).

But it's no problem to manufacture a version with the mains connector at the
front as an 8 HP front panel as we have these panels available for the
standard suitcases V1. All we have to do is to ask our case manufacturer to
omit the cutout for the mains inlet at the rear panel and to use the mains
inlet frontpanel.
