Anyone ever mount their mobo on the wall?

lol, my dad was telling me about some guy he knows who works with these other dudes that mount everything on the wall in their room. imagine that, a mobo hanging on the side of you wall, attached to a working computer

Hey I think youve got something there.

 

[K-squared]

Why would you....?

never have to worry about case temperature....

on the other hand, rug-rats could (prove to) be a real problem....

 

[lotust]

dust sux too though. otherwise its a good idea

I have the mobo in the wall it was old DFI socket 7, I put in the frame and hang in the wall, look cool !!!!

i was thinking of doing that with my intel 386 board!

 

[pac1085]

yeah get some spacers, and some dry wall screws and mount the board right into the wall! you'd have to figure out something so you can secure the agp/pci/isa slot cards, but other than that it would work good and look cool I should start up a tech site that sells plans on how to do that

some people have had multiple mainboard crackracks hanging from #8 threaded rods. i think i saw a pic somewhere of 8 dually mainboard each with 2 celeron 566's and a stick of 64 mb ram.

No, but I have a working computer and mb sitting on my desk without a case...

Dude.

I hang them on the wall all of the time if they're defective.

Take a look here.

Then I make sure there are darts handy.

 

[pac1085]

LOL! How come the darts are in the mounting holes tho? good aim? lol

 

[jonnyGURU]

We threw a bunch of darts at it.

Only the one that went around the board and in the mounting holes stuck.

The ones that hit the board just bounced off.

 

[pac1085]

shure they did

Back when I had a small case I had my hard drives screwed to the underside of my desk top. Case seemed really roomy after that, and was cooler too.
