Hey guys, I would like to show you my wall mounted gaming PC

This is a good thread.

Thanks, mate!
Here is a pic of the ON/OFF switch:

You'll never become a sophisticated minimalist with all this unnecessary bloat

OP pls

Well, I wanted to keep it practical.

Somehow I'm reminded of that Simpleplanes thread.

Must have been a fun project user, but in practice it only looks bad, you are using some ugly looking parts, i am not saying you should get like rgb gaymer shit but just not generic stuff pasted into a frame on the wall with cables coming out everywhere, put that stuff on a cheap case and call it a day.

My computer is on the corner of a wall, glued to the table with stale semen and sideways and an african-american still knocked it over.
RIP OP's computer.

Fun fact:
I have this switch from this device here:

I've busted my DIY front face controller when I've put power connector in reverse and it flew 12 volts across 5 volt bus, now I have the button cable dangling on the side of the case, I short it with a jumper wire to start the PC. Another cable comes out of it, and it's connected to a potentiometer, it controls the power fans (triple set, 5k RPM).

that is one niggered up pc, op. gg

Are you the one who scientists who study my intellect call "ungifted"?

All the shitty design decisions notwithstanding, you got one thing none of the off-the-shelf-casefags will ever have: superior airflow. None of your hardware will crawl into even yellow temperature zone unless you torture test it.

It's like you don't even care.

I'd fix it but I've made it with my prototyping components, the fucking ATmega666-fuckyou-edition, it's expensive as shit and it's very difficult to flash, it's not worth the effort.

Wouldn't it be possible to just use a small soft duster to dust this thing? I mean, OP is stupid for doing this but I dunno if dust is the main problem here.

somebody post the fursuit one

OP here: No, there is no problem with dust. And I'm not stupid!

That's a myth.
A closed system with fans constantly replaces the hot air inside it, whereas in an open system the high pressure on the exhaust of fans and low pressure on the intake of fans causes the fans to constantly take in the hot air they just put out.
An open system is cooler and more power efficient (electronics lose efficiency at higher temps) than a closed system with no case fans though, because then the case will just keep the air that does escape from the high pressure/low pressure loop in.

Dust is only a problem when it accumulates on the radiator and stops hardware cooling - and you fix it with a brush or some compressed air. Passive components don't give as much as a sliver of shit about dust: it's inert, non-conductive, doesn't weighs anything. Also the very reason the dust can get there is because the air in the room was filled with dust to start with. So "lol lungs" is a dumb argument - the dust was always there, it's just radiator grill is very good at gathering it so it's visible.

this.

maybe spray your generic psu black with bbq paint and wrap the cables with black electrical tape OP. Do some cable management.

If you do that, won't there be bees in your honey?

additional protein
no, you smoke those little guys out

Well I've been building a number of my own PC cases and I know for a fact that open case with some fans blowing is several times superior to a closed case temperature-wise. Hot components put out tons of heat and to maintain adequate temperatures a lot of air needs to be pushed over the radiator, and that just won't happen in a closed computer case unless you put industry blower on it, these rinky dink 0.5 amp fans do not do shit. I have 5 amps worth of recirculating fans on my case and that still doesn't do nearly as well as if I simply remove the case and let these the fans blow over the electronics.

Also "temperature reduces efficiency" is bullshit. Technically it does but on a very small scale. The real issue is that transistor gates are tiny and burn out easily, plus they can put out so much heat that the solder comes off and they lose contact with the circuit - this is the most common GPU failure mode, die melts the solder and comes off the board.

I personally have always wanted to build a PC inside of my wall

Let me explain
On my wall I want for there to be a little door like the ones used to cover braker boards, except inside will be PC components instead.

To access the I/O I want to route extension cables to a specified location in my house through the walls to socket panels alongside mains sockets. this also would include routing HDMI cables as well.

To cool the PC I will add an air duct from the PC compartment in the walls to the homes air vents.

My vision is a completely utilitarian, house computer! An alternative reality where computers become a utility found in all homes in the same vein as plumbing and electric. And I will accomplish it one day…

"gaming PC"

What are the specs user? Can you even run emulators on that thing?

Good fucking job, you retard.

Voltage is constant 12V so amps indicate power - multiply amps by 12 and you get watts.

Well then I'm not sure about the open vs closed situation right now.

The efficiency stuff is real though, I tested it when I bought my current PC.
Try disabling your gpu, disabling any kind of power saving on your memory, setting your hard drive(s) to spin up at maximum speed always, locking your cpu to max frequency and then running a cpu-stressing program while tweaking the cpu fan's speed.
With my core i7 4770 I got 41~c at the highest fan speed and then the highest temp I allowed was 75c with the fans going slower. This 34c difference on the cpu was enough to cause a 14w higher power use reading on the wall, definitely more than just the cpu fan consuming more power and a significant difference for a 84w cpu.
It probably matters even more on more modern cpus because the transistors are smaller.

Man, Hitler really did look like an avocado.

That actually sounds pretty practical, and it'll make your pc effectively silent because you'll be far away from it. Might require some fuckery for HDMI cables, for some reason their latency is huge. For instance it's common to route long HDMI connections through a cat5 cable with an active adapter or the latency makes the screen unusable.
If you're like me and have a trillion bazillion fans hanging around that you'll never use because they scream like a certain soviet commercial flight supersonic plane, you could even put them to work and at maximum speed.

Generally speaking HDMI length doesn't become an issue unless it's something crazy like 200ft because of the nature of TMDS

how's minecraft these days?

Bad idea - condensate will form fast

Hey, it's a Nvidia GTX 750!

Good point

Another way to handle this would be just a single vent going to the houses vent system instead to act purely as an exhaust vent, meanwhile I can have a fan blowing air from underneath instead of from another house vent

The GPU is stabilized by the WIFI card.

some day you will build up a large electrostatic charge and go to turn it on and fry everything. please make a follow up crying thread then so we can laugh at you.

Do the bees fly up and build combs inside of the jars or do the combs get placed in the jars?

It's not a complete bait. It is wall mounted and I can play Dirty Bomb with best graphics.

You're gonna run out of space really fast user. Also get a better monitor. It's [current year], you should at least be playing in 1080p.
