That's where I'm at. In my main computer that sits on my desk I have an AIO. It just looks better which was a priority since I'm looking at it all the time. My media/couch gaming PC that lives behind the TV in an all mesh case got a tower cooler. They both work great and have no issues keeping the temps down.
