sadly no poe

@noah, Yes !!. I think they release the specs for the expansion cards so you could make a custom poe+ version? So it converts poe+ to ethernet over usb c with pd for the framework?
Framework sells the mainboard individually with a case at a discount (outlet?)

@aqshafei I was just looking at doing this earlier!

@noah once upon a Christmas dreary,
while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious PHYs with their kernel support rocky,
suddenly there came a surge, as of a power's gentle urge,
surge of dot three A. T. in my 8P8C socket
‘Tis some LLDP,’ I muttered, ‘poking at my network socket, just a probe, with nothing docked’ -

@noah seriously unsure about rhyming rocky with socket but I think it kind of works?

@noah I feel like this is like asking "if I replaced the back wheel of my motorcycle with a belt sander, could I turn it into a snowmobile?"
It's not that it wouldn't work-- it probably would to some degree or another, it's more that you would end up with a "snowmobile" that costs twice what an entry level snowmobile does, while being worse in every conceivable way.

@noah Hardware has come a long way, so have mini PCs. The minisforum MS-01 has two SFP+ ports, two 2.5G RJ45, and two 40G usb-C that could be adapted to 10G with a dongle.
It really depends on what use-case you have in mind.
