Yeah I did that as well as the Thermaltake and Liam Li Wall mounted PC cases are Stupid Expensive. 

 

At OP. Go grab a $2 case thats all busted up long as its not bent or warped, Dents are fine. Drill out the pop rivets and that gives you a way to mount the Motherboard and GPU's way easier.

 

buy a MDF board and make the two onto one and than just go from there. 

 

You don't even really need the Motherboard tray and can get some great resutls with a PCIe extender cable and flat mounting the GPU. 

 

Get Google Sketckup and play around in there. you can download models of all PC parts and try your hand at moving things around.

here is my build log for one that I played around with, Was super cheap and unfortunately just ran out of time with me moving countries

Sup Fam,

 

So I'm changing my room soon and since I now have more space available on the wall I thought to myself, why not build a wall-mounted pc?

I've only build a pc once in my life and I know absolutely nothing about wall-mounted pc's. So I need you guys' suggestions and tips to buid a wall-mounted pc (: so that includes a blueprint of the case, and where to put/assemble the pc parts at.

My PC Specs:

Operating System
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
    Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
    Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM
    16.0GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
    MSI Z97 MPOWER (MS-7915) (SOCKET 0) 
Graphics
    24MP56 (1920x1080@60Hz)
    24MP56 (1920x1080@60Hz)
    4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (EVGA)
Storage
    2794GB Seagate ST3000VX000-1ES166 ATA Device (SATA)
    223GB KINGSTON SV300S37A240G ATA Device (SSD)
Optical Drives
    HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSB0 SCSI CdRom Device
    TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224DB SCSI CdRom Device
Audio
    Realtek High Definition Audio

 

I currently have a budget of 300$ on pc specs If i need to upgrade, and a 900$ budget for a new screen (preferably a curved ultrawide)

 

Thanks fam, I'll Share the results when I finish the project (if i ever finish it)

The recent project by LTT might be too laborious I'd choose one of the sizes of the Thermaltake Core P like the Core P5:

 

Image result for core p5 wall mounted

This a smaller version and also an itx version (but I don't like that too much: fairly big for ITX and does restrict mobo choice)

Well you can actually put 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch drives. No use to get the fans but maybe a not so expensive AIO for looks?

 

As for other wall mountable cases this would be a far better choice...but a far more expensive choice:

Lian-li PC series, all wall mountable.
