Building a wall mounted SLI rig...

...or rather taking existing one, installing water cooling and then slapping it all on the wall...

Wanted to post this to "Case/Modding", but this is neither "case" nor "modding" related... So i'm not really sure where it belongs...

Been googling for a bit and things i get most are tv related wall mountings. Not as many wall mountd pcs as i thought i'd find...

Anyone know of good examples of wall mounted build logs ?

I'm still in a planning stage, so any advice on the topic is welcome...

All the wall mounted PCs I have seen, all seem to be in display cases.

Not necessarily.
However at the moment i'm having a problem of figuring out how to mount motherboard onto wooden tray. How does one put M3 stand-offs into wood ?

Drill same size hole and superglue in ?

I kind of thought of that. Bit bit barbaric, needs thick tray board.

I think a better way would be to have a metal sheet in front of the wood, and then have a slightly smaller hole to screw the standoff into. Or you could just use a screw, and 2 rubber washers with nuts.

You could use threaded inserts. They screw into the wood, then you have a metal thread to screw into:
