I actually want to run air cooling, but I can't find a good selection of cases that will let me mount the motherboard horizontal. I don't want to hang a huge CPU radiator sideways off four retaining pins if I can help it. I'm looking at water coolers just because the blocks are lighter and less cantilevered out so they'll generate less physical force on the CPU heat spreader.
(I know, I know, "just put a tower case on its side". Nope. Can't do it.)
