You have asked for new ideas for modules, what about new ideas for
cases One of the roadblocks that many people (including myself) have
for purchasing a modular system is access to a low-cost case option. I
would propose two ideas for cases: 1) The "Ikea" type where you
purchase a black covered wood case that is in pieces along with the
power supply and mounting rails in a relatively flat box. The customer
would be responsible for assembly. and 2) Having a metal rackmount
frame that is designed to be mounted into an existing rack case, such
as an SKB case. A power supply would be provided that the customer
attaches to one of the inside walls of the rack case.

I do not know if these have been suggested before, I do apologize if
they have already been considered.
