Discrete Wall-Mounted PC

[Ichi-Zero]

Hi guys~

 

Currently researching into building a discrete wall mounted gaming PC. My intention is to increase desk space and to make the PC more accessible. 

I'm thinking of using TV mounts for the project. 

The goal is something discrete for general gaming and the like~ nothing fancy or flashy~

 

My current setup:

i7 2600k (Close looped cooler)

P8Z77-I Deluxe

16GB DDR3

CM HAD Stacker 915F Case

GTX 970 Asus

XFX 650W Full Modular PSU

 

BenQ 144hz monitor

Random 24" monitor in Portrait

 

Materials: Thinking about MDF and Carbon Fiber sheeting for a clean look.

 

I've added a reference image of a wall mountable PC. I will probably skip on the LED lighting. 

 

Ichi~

I'm busy with a wall/wall box build and you can just have two fans, don't need four. as long as the air is moving through the system you good. another easy way to do it is mount it to the bottom of the desk like linus did and than put a protector over it if you worried about your knee's.  

 

Enjoy though, I love Wall PC's. play around in sketchup to get some ideas of what you want.

Why not get a Evolv Shift.It has a very small footprint,otherwise the closest option is Thermaltakes P-Series

My CM Stacker 915F is already about the same footprint as the Thermaltakes P-Series. 

I need more desk space and I ruse to leave my PC on the floor...

 

Edit: Plus, I like the idea of an wall mounted PC with good cable management

$1,000 CAD for a PC case is too steep

My entire rig is worth afraction of that at 2nd hand market prices...

The next best option is to get something like the NCASE M-1 or DIY somethig

How about the Thermaltake Core P3? I think it's wall mountable

putting the gpu parallel to the pcie slot may make it easyer to run a pcie riser cable

Yes... I have thought about using existing cases. The P3 was among the top 3 of my list. 

However, I'm still considering using a sheet of MDF and TV wall mount for this project. 

And some carbon fiber sheeting on the MDF for a clean and slick look.

Then I wish you the best of luck. Hope you share it

Unless you're Linus and make a fully wall integrated PC AKA Wallputer~ 

And all you see is connectors coming out from the wall ? 

 

Edit: Yes, it will run Minesweeper and Minecreaft at 30 FPS

There are cases designed for wall mounting. http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-o5s/
