Yes. And carefully designed "extreme" air cooling solutions can outperform average water cooling solutions.

"Monolith" will for me always conjure up "2001: A Space Odyssey". I want to work out a wood monolith mini-ITX case design one can assemble from parts custom fabricated from drawer.com and ponoko.com, with an hdplex.com power supply, and all airflow pulled through an Noctua NH-C14S cpu cooler. With noise-isolated fans the width of the case, the entire case becomes a turbo charger for the cpu cooler.

(For compute servers I don't need separate graphics cards.)
