Actually, I like this idea.

 

I actually considered this at one point, as my home theater and office share a wall.  I thought about putting it in the wall, but you would be able to see it from both sides of the wall.  It wouldn't have been hard to cut out a hole in the wall and simply put the PC in there.  The IO would be accessible by two docks, one on each side of the wall.  I would have also put heavy duty dust filters over the fans so it doesn't get clogged up.

In wall PC is doable however you need to consider how you would cooling it. From a practical point of view, you are probably better off mounting the computer into the wall the same way you would mount a bathroom mirror/medicine cabinet by making essentially an in wall recess. Otherwise I would recommend mounting the computer some where hidden and do cable runs. 

You need to cool more than just the CPU and the GPU, the PSU needs cooling, the memory and even the motherboard needs to loose a bit of heat. The heat those ancillary parts make is not that much and the light cooling they get from the case fans feeding your radiators or GPU/CPU coolers is more than enough to do the job. Seal that thing up however, you will still have issues.
