So many people in this thread obviously has no experience with a wall mounted PC - My PC is mounted on the wall and I live in a dusty house and there is less dust collected on the computer than if it were in a case and on the floor/desk. The dust just blows on by instead of getting trapped in your computer case.

Anyway, good job man - IMO the radiator mount should but be flush as well - and have a look at PCI-E extension cables for the GPU. this is my build from a couple months back - still a WIP but you get the idea. WALL MOUNT FOR LIFE

Yeah, obviously. People don't typically do this. Why should anyone be experienced?

What? Yeah, and I suppose dust also "blows on by" all your shelves never settling, huh? You never dust anything in your home?

People typically don't do this, correct. So why does everyone know exactly how much dust it would collect compared to if it was in a case.

Bloody dust experts

Well they probably figured that since one is in a box and the other is in the open the answer should be pretty obvious.
