_As far as I can tell_, and as a Talos II user, most or all of IBM's
engineering and marketing effort is going into LE.

Whoa!  This is some seriously cool case and I will check it out in more
detail if I get enough disposable income again.

The videos make the options mainboard, CPU, and PSU options seem
constrained.  Especially as far as things like choosing the right
components for cooling and noise are concerned.

Don't you think the POWER9 might be too loud and hot?  Does there exist
an appropriate water-cooling option?
