My new wall mounted pc Gargoyle

I just upgraded/rebuilt my pc before I had an 8 core system with two e5420s I was inspired to use old server hardware by the 8 core gaming rig video that ltt put out. this was ok for CAD but it was a huge bottleneck in games and it took 200watts and made the room it was sitting in quite hot. so I bought a Lenovo m92p with an i5 3470 the motherboard was not standard so I built a wall mounted a case for it so I could put it above my head and also get better and quieter cooling. slCcbV_t-ZcjpMeCozWGBYCiqclr9BxFeNdH88qrmtwhu3CMDCBOyqBAsnq7Zm5NnCpfEGO5Yt_FvUy7nkUjL3jXywD2g0FOp68uCha2Ir1b16MQoNQBoce98_hsTbgtBJZfBk8a_UUobAyheFqiefZ_8URvFtifc1WMPuVmVIScIO9TB4SlOkQIqAjQfE9oDyngGP_jq1oRQEqv8bFQv9uFNcp1HtF2nZIR3RXfN_g3L8dI1bSp_U5X-pYTrQR2W2MKqZKyLhdg39I3xuoLTb-LZmaEukeVfwBpVZtqMhOkIgTl-wzBClIYiKnhiDsPoGG0I29uxiuy9uiZgObnghR0H2Ise-VyFJoqv2ogUgV_ce9DRFNiB4I6h_mdbNVPDGRdgXM6PIQ55l8umDwpnlsNtOK_c3v3d059Khw285xn-cBQYqz-qJciWs54bugmn7umlfVUfg4dOGZ4LY0WAY1AhaP5i3BqpSUCPg0eqOxfy7Tvp1hkJZiIY8jh8hEYMH-n8FGhlNEI5axFXmaJpKHabhNJrbbH3b15RaPpqj6BUoq9vy1WSXWUOY4d2v9jH8fvMFgY3dSX29V3EQhF8s8Q1liBs-O83htn11g_MdP2Qy4Hu0lUUQ=w1224-h918-no
