A corner of the 'net focuses on the market for
fanless [1].  The nuc8i5bek2 [2] doesn't show on
ebay or amazon where I try.

Having a tastefully done 1L fanless unit you buy
from the FSF store with a chip menu that includes
but is not limited to risc-v architecture from hifive on netbsd,
and a service to gutout and update an existing
chassis could be a revenue raiser for funding the cause of Free Sourceware Freedom(!!!)

Good idea! DIY Van L :)

BTW what part of a computer is it that
generates the most heat? If one had a
100L computer with the corresponding
computer power, where would one point the fan?

My guess is the CPU, storage and power supply.

I'd hollow out the trashcan Mac and arrange them
in a cube and blast coolant through them from
floor to ceiling or the reverse direction if that
is the natural direction for the coolant to go.
