Having a heating system of 10kW is not been dealt by putting a window on tilt.
But the concept of watercooling is having a low temperature on the spot (GPU, CPU) and does not guarantee a cool system over all, because at the other end the heat still has to dissipate into a radiator. It's tricky to build, not very reliable and expensive.
Air cooling instead is no rocket science at all. Just use reference design cards, throw a bunch of cooler in the case and you're done.
Watercooling does not mean no system fans. I thought that is a safe assumption.
