Since AMD won't be jumping on this for a while, it may be a non issue. This new form factor may make rad placement tricky, as the cpu and duct assembly will be smack in the middle of where we have been putting our WC stuff.

I do like the HDD/PSU 'tunnel' idea, i.e. if the PSU is getting air that has been heated by the drives only, it shouldn't ramp up in speed as much.

BTX will probably be great for SFF, air cooled cases, both on a thermal and acoustic standpoint.
