Wall mount or under mount computers are becoming a big trend. Not surprised one of the manufacturers are getting into it.
Makes sense if you think about that people are putting all that bling in their computers and then no one can see it.
If you wall mount it, well then it's a conversation piece.
yeah, because I invite people into my office so frequently. LOL

LOL - thanks for looking.

For your sake I hope you don't have a gaming computer in your office :face_screaming_in_fear:

I'm talking about at home - who has a computer on the wall at work?
the sheer mention of a conversation piece pretty much pushes this conversation completely into the home.

NTG cofounder Andy West did a wall mount of his own design in ~1997. It was super cool and I've always wanted to do that again since then.

Saves money on a big desk housing the unit. All you need it for the monitors and keyboard. That is really innovative.
-
It also does a lot to improve airflow. You're no longer shoving all those components in a hot box. I've been looking at doing a custom setup but have heard no so great things about the riser cables for newer graphics cards.

I wonder what the noise is like on a open case?
Not to mention the expense - that setup has to be HUGELY expensive. The case alone was $279

With that water cooling setup, the will be running slowly if at all, which means very quiet. Depending on the motherboard and graphics card, the coils for power conditioning/supply could be louder than anything else.
$279 for a wall mount case doesn't seem unreasonable to me, just considering what the hardware would cost for me to put something together myself. Expensive for a computer case, yes. Expensive for the specific task it was designed for, I'd say is reasonable.

It wasn't about unreasonable, it was just stating a starting price point for this setup. It it's less than $3000 for a middle of the road process and GPU, I wouldn't be surprised.
Normally, if you're going this extreme, I would expect to see $5k+

Actually I see a lot of people put just regular systems in fancy cases.

Well, I wouldn't be buying any cpu or gpu right now with the global shortages, prices are just crazy, but I know what you mean.

You can say that again - which is causing me an issue - cause I need machines for my office.

In that case - this case would SUCK! a normal fan on the CPU and GPU would be so loud in a case like this.
