because your desk isnt a sauna.
the anti small form factor small form factor pc.
practically every computer made since 1948 has the same problem. they utilize indoor air for cooling and exhaustion, creating a heating loop known as the sauna effect. lemon is a 13.5 liter small form factor micro atx chassis with an external, window mounted radiator, to prevent up to 90% of computer heat generation from ever entering your space.

google gemini was utilized in this project for:
worst. sauna. ever.
Between 2015 and 2025, peak CPU and GPU power consumption roughly tripled. A modern high-performance workstation under full load can pull upwards of 800W–1000W.
the sauna effect is the noticeable increase in ambient temperatures due to exhaust heat recirculated by powerful computers. asking on forums, over surveys, and in-person interviews, i found out exactly how hot this topic was. i will never stop making puns.
bye-bye, sweaty gamers.
utilizing a custom liquid cooling loop, lemon cools the hottest parts and exhausts the heat outdoors with an external, window mounted radiator enclosure.
