Had some extra parts laying around. Wanted to build my daughter a PC to play with and not physically play with... so i decided to put it inside my wall of my office.

The wall separates my master closet and a laundry room that i converted to my office. The office side will have a baldwin maple paneling accent wall with a plexiglass window in the center. 

The closet is where you install the PC into the wall.

The case is made of 3/16ths plexiglass

MB: MSI Z390 Gaming Plus

CPU: i7 9700F

RAM: 16gb Gskill Trident/Ripjaw 3200

PSU: Corsair 550

MSI MAG AIO, 3x Corsair ML 120MM RGB, 2 MSI fans, Corsair fan n RGB hubs

GPU will most likely be an MSI 1660 Ti.

I originally planned on just using on board graphics. But since i have it I will alter and use it.

I'm posting these two pics right now because thats where I am at with the build. The paneling and window I will be working on tomorrow. Still gotta wait on some small parts, power switch wire really...

Ill post the beginning to present pics to follow.

I appreciate that, a lot.

I see a lot of desk PCs and wall mounted PCs... figured I would/could combine those cool ideas.

Never know... "accidently" put something through the wall and then say I can fix that... "you know what would look really cool here?"
