Why you feel the need to explain the pros of water cooling to me specifically, I don't know.

Fine. I just wanted clarification to your point.
I think Schiller's point is valid though. The system was designed around two lower power graphics cards and the ability of the system to handle the heat produced by them. Moving to a single, larger and hotter gpu (as is what happened to gpu computation over the years), would require a different design with a larger heat sink. This would necessitate a redesign of the case. And if you are already doing that, then you might as well start over.
