Maybe you don't need the dry-ice container and waterblock, so Foxconn will be launching a cut-down model dubbed Bloodrage Flaming Blade, to fit in-between the GTI and Bloodrage.

Flaming Blade is full-fat
Bloodrage on a diet. Gone is the over-the-top cooling, PCIe x16 slots
are reduced from four to two, the excellent Sonar X-Fi soundcard is
eschewed in favour of onboard audio, SAS support gets chopped, and the
SATA ports are moved from the edge to further into the interior.
Still, one of our biggest grievances, the provision of just three DIMM slots, remains with the Flaming Blade. While we're at it, why not get rid of the floppy-connector; it serves very little use now.
Should the BIOS remain solid and performance decent at, say, 200MHz BCLK, the board could be of real interest if priced <£200.
