Have you seen the air-cooler on a threadripper ?! :-)

I don't really disagree with you but I like my old tower box because it has lots of room and easy to work on, and I realize that was why I liked my old car because engine compartment had lots of room to work.

MicroATX Threadripper boards are theoretically possible, if you go chipsetless like in X300 or EPYC.

heck, I have an epyc on an almost-ITX (https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=R...) board now, and any of the noctua TR4/SP3 tower coolers will cool it fine.
