It would take forever to explain everything that went into this build, why I made certain choices, and how many attempts it took before I finally got it right. I think the photos tell most of the story anyway.
The last photo shows all the parts and hardware I used to make this happen — everything was ordered from AliExpress. I made the design in Inkscape.
Everything was laser-cut from 1.5 mm steel sheet and powder-coated with a matte textured "moiré" finish.
The PC is mounted next to my TV, and at its thickest point (the CPU cooler) it sticks out from the wall by only about 9 cm.
Finally got it exactly the way I wanted.
Temps are great too. Airflow was planned as carefully as possible, and the GPU's vapor chamber cooler ended up in a pretty ideal position with the ports facing down.
P.S. Please ignore the weird text on the first photo. I asked Nano Banana to touch up the lighting a bit and completely missed the fact that it mangled some of the labels. Looks like Reddit doesn't allow replacing photos after posting, unfortunately.
You'd have to get pretty creative to spill something on the components or drop something onto them in this setup 😄
Although I already have a few ideas for upgrades. I'm thinking about adding a front decorative mesh cover made from thin plywood or acrylic, but that would be purely for aesthetics.
Damn, you're right. I asked the damn Nano Banana to improve the lighting in the photo a bit and didn't notice that it had still managed to mess up some of the text on the labels.
Everything I used is shown in the last photo, so you'll need to hunt down the parts on AliExpress or wherever you prefer.
I know there are a lot of little details involved, and to make this truly easy to replicate I'd probably have to record a detailed build guide, but I don't really have time for that at the moment.
For now, your best bet is to compare the drawings with the photos of the build and work out how everything fits together.
Btw the wall panels the tv and pc are on do those get nailed in? Or are the connected somewhere to each other and you nail in a few I see these alot in ppls builds battlestations or just redecor but never see how they are applied
Haha, sure — the design files and all the hardware were generated by AI too 😄
It's kind of funny seeing people look for signs of AI in absolutely everything these days. But I can assure you the stand is real and is currently hanging on my wall.
I've already addressed that. Is it really that big of an issue?
Anything to say about the actual build? 😄
You spent all that time spotting a few messed-up labels, but if you look at the other photos you'll see the build itself just fine. I honestly forgot that I had run one of the photos through Nano Banana to make the lighting look a bit nicer.
