I am building a desk pc. I am having the actual pc go in a cubby that I'm building sunk into one side of the desk. The top will be glass that is even with the rest if the desk. I'm doing this so I can mount everything directly to the motherboard so i wont have to worry as much about cable management. My question is: how do I mount the GPU to the desk. I want it to be even with the back of the desk so I can hide the cable for the monitor. Anyone have any solutions?

 

Edit:ive been looking around and found a vertical GPU mount. Would that be a goid solution or would it just conplicate things more

In addition to the gpu cable(s) you will also have stuff plugged into the rear i/o panel. I'd suggest a rear wall with appropriate cutouts. The wall should be 3cm - 5cm in front of the desk rear. The glass top should not expose that area.

Take a close look at how a gpu mounts in a regular case. It is a pretty simple mechanical system with the rear gpu plate fitting into a slot on the case floor and the upper portion being screwed into the rear case wall.
