Taking into account that these things get very hot and demand enterprise class air cooling

and since some have already used U.2 in workstation cases / non-rack set ups:

@Ezy you are using it with a SAGE, how do you cool the U.2s?

@Venturi you have this interesting set up, I see a fan behind the drives, what's the cooling set up there?

Any idea how to give the U.2/U.3 some decent cooling in a Silverstone Alta D1? these are the places where I can get either the U.2/U.3 or the PSUs,
