Custom Wall mounted PC adventure

[WhiteSled]

Ok so here is my plan I am getting the x-carve by inventables and I was thinking that a fun project would be to build a wall mounted pc that would sit above it.

 

 

So above it a quick sketch that I did of the basic layout of the project I am thinking that 4' x 4' would be a good size so that I can have plenty of room to mount things

 

Here are so of my ideas so far:

 

now all the graphics will be led back lit and removable so that you can change them by simply milling a new design and setting it in place

 

all of the pc components will be set on acrylic and led edge lit

 

32" led 1080p monitor will be used and flush mounted into the main board

 

front i/o panel w/ fan controller, usb 3.0 ports, audio ports, sd card reader

 

all water cooling will be done with clear water blocks and hard line tubing  with a triple 120mm rad

 

I believe the main board will have to be cut using 4 different board and then joined after milling is complete on each board (I can only do 800mm x 800mm at a time on x-carve)

 

 

 

Computer specs so far:

 

Gigabyte gtx 960 2gb g1 gaming

 

samsung 850 evo 250gb ssd

 

2x seagate barracuda 7200 rpm 3tb hdd

 

tp-link wdn-4800 wifi card

 

 

 

Now my question to you guys are:

 

What do you think of the idea?

Who would you improve on it?

What do you dislike?

What cpu, mobo, rad, res, psu should i use?

I need serious help on making thr front i/o panel I am not sure where to start on this?

 

Now I will be using the computer to run the x-carve and work in the design software so no gaming or nothing like that

 

But I would like the components that I still need to be all matching in looks and kinda match the theme of the project with the led lights (color changing) and main board begin wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl

 

thanks in advance

Oh, I am dissapoint. The build looks good. I'd recommend a http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-cm8064401831000 and EK water blocks are pretty great... XFX PSU and I'm not sure what your colors are, but here's this MOBO: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-gryphonz97

any particular reason you are thinking a xeon processor kinda seems overkill?

Lower tier Xeons have better values compared with, say, a 5960X.
