It's funny how those fans are a decent percentage of the whole build. They'll last a life time of builds though so well worth it imo.
Those are Noctua fans so a decent percentage of the price tag too lol. I count 22 that's like $600+ in just fans.
Mine are all server grade, Sanyo, Fujikura, Nidec... fairly loud, but will last forever.
I'm very sensitive to white noise so I'd rather have a 5 to 10 year service quiet fan. But I see the appeal. Perhaps setting the machine in a cabinet somewhere and use a fanless thin client at the desk. But that's $$$$.
Yeah, it's not for everyone, I know. But it doesn't bother me and I can rest assured that all fans are working all the time, so it's a good deal for me.
You could get a fiber optic display/HDMI cable, a fiber optic USB cable, and the USB hub, then just move the desktop tower into another room and run the cables through the walls or ceilings to your display setup. Might only be $100 or so cheaper than then a used business thin client, but at least you could still do something 4K 120Hz HDR 12bit over some distance without compromise. E.g:
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
If I'm remembering the reviews of this case correctly it doesn't even have good airflow for all those fans.
That makes sense to me... You really only want one path for the air flow. E g. In through the front, over the components, and out the back.
Most of the fans in this setup are just fighting against each other.
Having front / bottom intake and rear / top exhaust is also fine if you have a top mounted radiator.
Side in like this case has is also fine as long both front and side have the fans mounted the same way.
