Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT @ techPowerUp

A cooler this size has no practical use in a modern PC despite some very distinct advantages like passively cooling a 130w CPU and being virtually silent when paired with a properly cooled chassis.

Virtually silent and properly cooled usually translate into "big huge case" and not something you would want to use in an environment where things need to be quiet.  At least without lowering performance expectations.

Thermalright's Le Grand Macho RT is massive in size, weighing in at 1060g with the fan. Capable of being used passively, it offers users a near-silent operation and top-tier performance when paired with the TY-147B fan. The competition should take note as Thermalright looks to steal the air-cooling crown.

No, the real reason I posted this news story is because of the name.  "Le Grand Macho RT"  That just rolls off the tongue and really describes this massive cooler that only a handful of people may actually want.
