Is your friend ugly now?  If so, a large system probably won't help, except 
perhaps as a distraction. :P  But I digress ...

I think we'll need a definition of "large" to answer that.

I have an SFF box, and it has 3 fans.  Finding one that works reliably without 
fans is going to be a big ask, since SFFs tend to suffer more from 
cooling/airflow issues than their full size counterparts.

I'm no expert on clustering, but what alternatives are being considered?  What 
is your friend trying to achieve?
