So i was thinking of buying a new case.. and then i thought about the possible merits of mounting the whole PC on a flat board of some kind. Along the lines of butchering a cheap case i have and cutting out the mb mounting plate and upright section behind the cards to secure sound/gfx, etc...
attach mb to plate, plate to board, psu/hdd etc to the board, board to a wall, all fans firing upwards, mount fan on board to blow a light breeze up over the whole lot.
pros:
would save money, save space, should run cooler than any case, i like little 'projects'.
cons:
will look like poo
im sure its been done before, anyone have any suggestions? or is it a dumb idea
