Yes, plug and play items must be standardizes for example bay reservoirs are made to the same specifications as any 5.25" device. I think that it only implies integration to the extent that the item works with a standard case.

It seems that there have been a number of commercial attempts at integrated units. The problem is some very well established physics is in the way of progress.
Sadly most of the large companies are pretty clueless when it comes to making a performance product. I suppose that is good for some of us.
A good portion of Thermal Dynamics is a simple balancing act when it comes to the math. You can use small radiators but the trade off will be the need for high CFM fans and there is a limit to that.

When it comes to water blocks, I tend to agree. Some of the other products are just standard items OEM items.
