Transforming Spare Parts into a Stunning Wall-Mounted PC: A Creative Proof of Concept

In an innovative attempt to repurpose old technology and enhance our workplace environment, I recently embarked on a project to create a wall-mounted PC for our conference room and lobby using mainly spare components. This unique build not only showcases technical ingenuity but also serves as an eye-catching piece of functional art.

The foundation of my project was an old mining rig plate, coupled with a B550 motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 processor, and 32GB of RAM. To elevate the visual appeal of the build, I integrated a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, which brings both performance and style. To add a unique twist, I 3D printed a custom bracket that allows for the suspension of a holographic fan directly from the motherboard mounts, positioned just above the PCI slots.

The entire assembly process was both enjoyable and educational, and I’m thrilled with the result. I even took the liberty of creating a brief promotional video, roughly 20 minutes long, to highlight the various aspects of the build and demonstrate its functionality.

This initiative was conducted on a nearly zero budget, primarily utilizing leftover parts found at the office, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution. I was inspired to take on this challenge as a proof of concept, as I had never seen a wall-mounted PC featuring a holographic fan before.
