PLAN B analog blog

Well every 3U of extra space is potentially 4-8 or more new module
purchases. If the case is sold at a $50 loss (or whatever is needed to
beat all other competitor options) then you could offset that by
increasing prices on all modules that you are selling at a loss. A
cheap case will always lead to more module purchases.

I know it must be a tough equation to balance! 

btw, If assembly costs are high on Plan B stuff it would be awesome if
you offered kit versions of everything.
