I invested in a frame.work laptop. If I ever purchase a new mainboard, I'll get this cooler for my old mainboard and use it as a server or mount it to a TV: ht

  The fact that traditional parts makers like Cooler Master are putting out Framework cases and such bodes really well, I reckon. There are few things I've bought that produce the opposite of buyer's remorse, and my Framework is at the top of the list.

    As much as it would interest me to learn that Cooler Master designed and created a product out of sheer enthusiasm for a small third-party vendor, it much more likely came about through traditional means. Not long ago, Framework engaged in marketing and promotion campaigns to demonstrate aftermarket uses for their mainboards via direct outreach to popular creators on YouTube and Reddit. I spoke with one of the participants who confirmed that they were sent the mainboard and commissioned by Framework for their project. Doesn't make any of it less cool, but there's no "secret cult of Framework" driving things, just smart business strategy.

      Well yeah, didn't mean to imply there to be a secret cult of Framework (though if there was one I'd happily join it). More that it bodes well to see companies like Cooler Master giving Framework the time of day when it comes to these sorts of business deals.
