I use a FLIRC case for my raspberry PI. Basically, the entire case is a heat sink. Here's their page:

It's all aluminum, and it makes direct contact with the CPU making the entire case the heat sink. I wanted to suggest you make a similar case because you literally cannot overheat a PI with a FLIRC case, and I've really tried with FFMPEG. Maybe you can partner with them although they are apparently across seas - maybe you can source from China.
I'd never go back to plastic again though for a PI. First, it does overheat if you try, and second, it's kind of cheap and the cost of a full aluminum heat sink compared to plastic, isn't much.
Good luck with your product. Looks like you're a competitor to the PI, but, for me, you're overpowered, but you're apparently available. Make a $35 product with an available case that is $15 dollars out of aluminum that is a full heat sink, and I might be a big customer, but I've not finished the software yet. It just needs to be able to do wifi, ethernet (100 MB/s fine), at least 2 USB ports (3 is the most), an SD Card, and run Linux, that would be great. I'm looking for a storage device that is widely programmable, network connected, and as long as it can feed about 400 KB/s, that's enough for what I'm working on.
