Right now OEMs are going to build for the most common form factor and that is not Christine. Christine needs products that can fit into a very specific modular format. This is not something that many OEMs are going to want to dive into while the PC market (even the DIY market) is a little stagnant. There is no reason to build for a single vertical when the products they are making now fit.

We are not sure why Razer did not see this one coming when they were envisioning Christine.  In the end the failure of Christine is not on OEMs for building to the most common form factor, but n Razer for thinking that this new format would really fly. Even if they could get one OEM on their side it would not be enough for this to get off the ground.

It is sad that Razer did not take this into account, but that is the way that thing happen. Perhaps if they were a little more flexible in the way they designed Christine there would be a way to make this work without the need for OEMs to redesign their components.
