You’ve got more computing power than the entire Apollo 11 operation. But prolly need extra kit for a LEM.
R-PI to the rescue 
I think Apollo 11 went to the moon on an 8 bit Atari.
Yet, some people need a specialized OS (e.g. Fidelizer, etc.) running on an i7 to listen to music.
Yeah, too late now. Probably next time with a Series 3 or whatever it is then. If I use a similar case, I’ll have to Dremel some holes to jury rig some fresh air intakes.
I love the old raptors. Still have some of 80 GB ones floating around as an OS drive some of the 10 old computers littering my workspace.

Really? All that gurgling… 
I’m actually pretty happy with my NoFan CPU cooler with a Ryzen 7 2700. Bit surprised by that. But if your case fans are good, no issues.
Damn, that’s a lotta stuff!
If noise is your main concern, good air cooling bests AIO water loops by a decent margin.

I’m pretty sure I remember passive CPU coolers in the late 80s/early 90s. Glad to see they are still around.
I think this very much depends on how fans are orientated. Sadly not all PC builder get the overall airflow and internal air pressure correct under all load/temp conditions.
The other problem with water coolers is they remove the cooling of supporting components (chipset, power regulators etc) and RAM that you get as a result of air bleed from a normally positioning CPU cooler (because its now one or more outlet fans instead on edge of case). This is also another problem I find many system builders dont adequately account for as it can make air pressure awkward to manage as well (ideally you always want positive pressure inside to prevent dust being pulled in through various gaps which will degrade cooling eventually). Water CPU coolers can make this more awkward to manage as whgen they spin up under full load, they become very fast exhaust fans that may not be adequately matches by the various intake fans. Other option is using the water cooloer fans as intake - I find that just bad as then you are not dumping the CPU heat outside which usually eventually upsets something else.
I dont think overall its a case of water cooling is not as good, I think its more a case of it often creates other problems that need to be handled.
That’s awesome, thanks for taking the time to do that Rugby.
Now, if I could only put a few goldfish in that clear coolant tank…
I remember Blake’s 7 for different reasons

LOL, you know, I was actually contemplating that for awhile. And using it with something like the Thermaltake open-sided Wall mounted case like this…
Exotic Cases exist and can be up to 5 or 6 thousand dollars just for the case. I’ve always like the boat and train cases from Lian Li …
But, In-Win really pushes the case envelope in its boutique lines…
For example, the Yong series:
But, my fav is the WinBot, which rotates 360, understands voice and hand gestures, and moves to your commands to follow you around.

I do have a clue what I want to do but sometimes the learning hoops required are a challenge. Google if our friend most definitely. The other thing I do is create a little notes log of what I am trying to do and what I succeeded with. Even for simple thing the old grey matter doesn’t always come to the party next time around.
