HI guy, I would like to start off saying thank you for the help and if this is the incorrect place to post please let me know.

OK so i have been looking at wall mounting my PC for a few reasons, First one being desk space (cant get a bigger desk it is fitted into the wall, secondly it looks cool, and last I want to print my own mouse mat that fits my whole desk but don't want the computer covering any of the mouse mat print. I have never done anything like this so I am just going to give you an idea of what I was thinking about doing and if you could just give me some feed back OK.... so I have got a laser cutter, I want to draw and measure out all the pieces and laser cut the perspex for precision, I was looking at using 1.5mm Acrylic and stacking it and then mounting that to a frame I made of Acrylic square tube so that i have space at the back for cable management and so once i am finished the build I can wrap it with a custom printed back lit vinyl so that light can pass through , I also want to make the board big enough so that once I upgrade my mother board from an m-atx to an atx it will still fit, My biggest problem with this build is the actual mounting, I don't know what to use (type of screw, size of screw, etc.) when it comes to the motherboard thats easy its already mounted I am guessing it would be exactly the same as putting it in the PC case, I have a 3tb seagate, a 2 Tb WD blue and Samsung 750 evo 500 GB, which I kind of have an idea of how to mount them, when it comes to the PSU I will just open the case and drill holes in the bottom to mount it, With my graphics card I have no idea How to mount it (I have a GTX 1070 Asus rog strix) I don't want to take the back plate off. I have looked through a lot of tutorials but no one goes into detail of how they just say "then i mounted the PSU" but no information on how. Again thanks for any help
 
assuming you have CAD modelling experience, make a sketchup model or something, theres load of pre done models that you can load in and design from. For the GPU, i would suggest risers to mount it vertically. Take inspiration from the Core P5 by thermaltake, its a good example of a wall PC done well
 


thanks for taking the time to reply. The layout of it is not the problem and i was planning on vertically mounting the GPU but I don't know how to physically mount it, there are no thread holes to put a screw in to it.
 
You can get rigid riser cards, so i would suggest mounting that to the wall with some L brackets, laser cut a little platform basically, like a shelf, that it will sit on, and then also a PCI bracket, so what you'd end up with is something like the tray that the GPU's rest on in the P5, apart from it would be on its own and from a single card.

Thanks ALot for the help. I dont know why i never thought about a pci bracket, which is definitely going to make this easier. AGAIN THANK YOU
