Wall Mount

[Tagiau]

Is there any way to wall mount a small case, something like the node 202, ftz01, rvz02?

Sure, drill some holes, make a template, and use dynabolts.

Li-Lian has some wall mountable cases, but if your wanting to I would be sure to make it mount via the frame and not just a side panel, or the case can potentially fall. Most side panels aren't really made to hold up a weight of a PC.

Lots of glue and chewing gum

You could get some like L braces that you can drill in at your local hardware store.

okay, and after that, the technical answer....You're goinf to want something that can support some sort of load....Grab a stud finder. Locate 4 spots within the perimeter of the case, and mark those spots on the wall (I'd recommend a dressmakers pencil) hold up the case, and make sure that if you drill through the back plate, that you're not going to be in contact with anything vital, (where a conductive screw is going to make contact with the back of your motherboard for example)

 

You then make a template with those screw holes marked, and drill holes in your back plate, grab some good quality self tapping screws, and mount your back plate to the wall.

he mentioned a whole heap of side mountable, but really low form factor desktops units, I'd hope the base has some reinforcement if it's going to be holding the weight of the pc.

>locate 4 spots

So, a thing OP (@Tagiau). 

Most studs are either 16 inches or 24 inches apart. So you have to have a case that wide (depending on your studs) to mount it into two. 

I don't think you need that much. Just do 2 spots on a single stud. 

Or mount a shelf and put the PC on the shelf. Easy peazy.

Anything can be wall mounted if you try hard enough.

yeah, but two screws never handles torque well, they tend to loosen over time.you're almost better off mounting into the stud on one side, and using special gyprock/drywall screws with special backplates for your other two screws.
