Question Wall mounted pcs, what are the pros and cons?

[UKTone]

I've been seeing these a lot, and apparently it's not that new, so anyone done it before? Any horror stories? Is it actually good? What are all your thoughts, advice, etc.? Would you recommend doing it?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I want to know pros and cons, and yeah want to know the benefits, idc for rgb or how it looks to others, just more focused on it's functionality.

It might make a good showpiece.

What might be the benefit for you?

What are you calling a wall mounted pc. You can get one of the nuc pc and use double stick tape to mount it to the back of any tv, technically many tv are already computers.

Unless you just want to mount some huge case to the wall pretty much the screen is going to be larger than the computer.

I guess it would depend on what surface was against the wall. Most PC cases expect open air on the front and back. Many also expect some open air on the top and bottom. So that just leaves the sides to be against the wall.
A case that is DESIGNED for wall mounting would not have these limitations.

You don't need any case to wall-mount a motherboard to the wall, only two nails. Airflow should be really good, but protection from RF or children throwing balls would be very poor.

I'd suggest a board with power and reset buttons, as dangling ones would be gauche
