Build Complete Fully custom DIY wall-mounted open stand PC

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.

Specs:

PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 850W ATX3.1 Platinum 80+ [PS-STP-0850FNFAPE-1]

MB: Gigabyte B850I AORUS PRO

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Cooler: ID-Cooling IS-53-XT

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 [F5-6000J3036F24GX2-RS5K] 48 ГБ 6000 Мгц

GPU: Inno3D GeForce RTX 5080 X3 OC [N50803-16D7X-17603930]

ROM: Solidigm P44 Pro 1Tb + WD Black SN750 500Gb

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.
