I designed 3D printed components to mount my ITX + 3080 + SFX to an IKEA Skadis pegboard, so it can be wall-mounted behind my TV.

So, pay extra to get the smallest components possible for a desktop PC, and then mount them spread out on a giant wall.
I get what you’re criticizing, but it wouldn’t have the same aesthetic if there was a giant motherboard in there.
I like it. I wouldn’t want to keep it clean, but I like that someone else built it.
I just hope you don’t live somewhere even half as dusty as where I do!
I feel like this might be easier to dust. Right now if I want to clean my PC I have to open it and hit it with compressed air. This one you can just blow clean whenever.
It’s still being exposed to orders of magnitude more dust, which provides more opportunity to destroy components. Increasing the frequency of cleaning also brings with it its own risk of destroying components.
All that dust is going to do, is to block airflow at worst. If you take proper care of it, it’ll be fine.
As long as your dust isn’t conductive (such as metal dust from a machining shop) it really isn’t a real concern. Most of the time if dust kills something: its caked on, thermally choking components, and often mixed with something else like tar from cigarettes.
Exposed and on display like this, the owner is probably going to be meticulous about air dusting it often.
Just put this on the wall outside your room in the winter for ultimate cooling
Even top grade electronics aren’t specced for less than -40C. I wonder what happens if you do it anyway?
Let it warm up inside then stick out the window maybe?
Now you need to get custom length power cables. Love the simplicity of it too.
Or wire strippers, a crimping tool, and terminals. Then you can make all your own custom stuff at will.
Oh boy making an atx power cable sounds like a good way to raise your blood pressure.
I think this is brilliant in its simplicity. Kudos!
Everything looks good until you plug in the wires then it looks like spaghetti.
Not necessarily. I mean, it’s fully built in the picture and definitely doesn’t look like spaghetti. If you cable manage the peripheral cables well I think it’ll still look nice.
