DIY wall-mounted PC

[Banzai_Joe]

Hi all,
Couldn’t think of anywhere to post this, so please move if there is a better place.
In the near(ish) future I fancy building my own wall-mounted pc.
Has anyone done this? Not interested in buying one as they’re crazy prices. Plus I just want a nice project that I can have a go at.

Considerations
1. If it’s open how does airflow and air pressure work to ensure components are kept cool?
2. Never tried proper water cooling, maybe this is an option to negate point 1. ?
2. It will be built with pretty much any spec in mind, so if I went for a full atx and mahoosive gpu it will cope. I only use onboard m.2 drives so I guess all I need to mount is mobo, psu and gpu. Do I really need ‘case’ fans (probably not if it’s open).
3. What about having a perspex cover but on upstands so that the sides are open? How could that affect airflow and fan management?

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from those who have tried this themselves.

TIA

1) Buy a PC case
2) Buy a shelf
3) Put PC on shelf

Voila wall mount PC.

Tron themed wall build.

I finally have almost all of the pieces together, so it is time to start the build. I have been looking to put together a nice wall build for some time now, and this is the perfect opportunity to move into hardline after years of soft tubed watercooling. What could possibly go wrong!? The rig...
