Exactly. The only thing that matters is the modules. The rest is just cowbell.

Agreed.  Honestly I wish companies would just sell modules because so far none of them have had particularly good complete rig designs.

BFL case of fans?  We don't even need to go any further.
KNC uneven airflow and rats nest of cables because we decided to make the case too small to fit the PSU internally (I get why they didn't want to ship a PSU but come on make the case wider).
HF radiators on the front.
Cointerra lets get almost everything perfect and then have the power supply intake on the side which will be restricted airflow at best in a datacenter rack.

Now none of these are fatal flaws but honestly just give me the boards.  It cuts down on shipping, it cuts down on assembly, and let me build my own rig.
