Out of curiosity, how does someone cram two dozen fans into a single machine? Even a quad socket Dell R940 only has 8 fans.

Now try to get the same cooling power without the noise a rack server makes. -> more larger, slower fans.

Maybe a monster case with three quad fan radiators in push pull...

This is it. The Corsair 1000D is actually a dual-system case and just has massive room. Two quad radiators and a triple 140 in push-pull, plus 2 rear fans. The two quads support one cooling loop (for one of the systems) and the triple supports another.

(I don't actually keep the fans lit up like this all the time, this was post-build in a very dark garage.)
