Really nice cooler there. Only weighs in at 2.7 pounds and is larger than most every cooler out there. Only $100, what a bargin! Sounds like a jet engine too. That adds to the coolness factor. It will be fun to route cables around that thing. And you don't need tools to put it in! Mostly because it is so big that you couldn't get tools anywhere near where you need them in the first place.

Could water cool I guess. There are some simple kits out there perform pretty well.

But the real question is, when are we going to just demand active cooling for the CPU?

Unless something game changing happens then we will need a bag of ice and industrial HVAC just to cool the processor soon. Oh and a set of ear plugs.
