I'm watching My Home Server is REALLY Stupid and I Need to Fix It and Linus explains that previously, his water cooled gaming PC sprung a leak in the server rack, and I remember seeing a video where he fixed that and routed the excess heat into his pool. That's all well and good.

But in this video he upgrades his home server where he's storing his home media and private photos. The server is air cooled both in the compute part and the HDD part. Can someone explain to me why this objectively valuable computer was and is placed below a water cooled PC and still, after upgrading both the water cooled gaming PC and this one, is placed below?
