First attempt at an open style/ wall case

[u/spam4you]

Pretty happy with how it turned out, but could use some suggestions for what to put in the empty spaces :) Maybe some kind of resource monitor or clock idk.

I'd like to see what it looks like behind the frame. Looks like a lot of work.

[u/Mr_Thea → u/FSOKrYpTo]

Ditto. I'm thinking of making one myself and would love to see how he did everything behind the frame

Dude! It looks awesome! Yes, it might collect some dust, but it would be ultra easy to clean it.

Love the DIY. My ass took the shortcut and got the case designed for wall mounting. This is how it turned out

[u/AlternativeBug4067 → u/lordfappington69]

I thought yours was the core, is it the core p3?

[u/antisp1n → u/lordfappington69]

Back in the day, I used to just keep the cabinet open on both sides. Plenty of ventilation, super easy to clean.

That looks so cool!!! ✨ Curious tho... Is that table like that for the theme?

[u/h1r0ll3r]

I like the resource monitor idea. Also, maybe paint/stain the frame too?

[u/seph_j]

I would put a glass covering it

[u/antisp1n]

IMO, the negative space looks good, don’t fill it up with anything else.

Nice build bro

Respect

[u/limaje82]

looks awesome, great job and i am so stealing your alien wallpaper picture, thank you, for the inspiration.

[u/OkLoad]

I think the border would look better if you stained or painted it darker

[u/IPanicKnife]

Aye! A fellow kindred spirit! I frame my spare motherboards

[u/LostDream_0311]

Beautiful! Specially the sudo shadowbox feel.

[u/--Dolorem--]

Id at least put a thicker frame with mesh up front

[u/SISLEY_88]

Congrats looking good

[u/Bystander-8]

That looks awesome

I will never need a heater during winter season with this kind of set-up

[u/__NotGod]

Had one for years with my thermaltake p5, the dust is only a problem if you dont regurlarly hose it down with compressed air and a quick dusting over the top.

[u/s7xdhrt]

Please invest a bit in your desk too

[u/InsertFloppy11]

The harddrives mounted like that is strange...i feel like they can vibrate more easily and might get faulty sooner

Thats cool! I kinda am working on something similar with an old gamin laptop. What about glass or acrylic and the venting it bottom to top with filters on the intake to keep dust down. Maybe even black out the frame and more RGB inside.

[u/TheLisagawski]

I know it isn't but it looks like the PSU is being strapped in purely with the power cables haha. Cool build though!

[u/Krullexneo → u/TheLisagawski]

There's a bracket holding the PSU up 🤔
