You can tell its a different generation, when they call just good old "Friendly Suggestions" and calling a possible bad idea out to a friend a co-worker, being "Shamed"..LOL
Used the Core P3 Pro for wall mounting my computer. With it having E-ATX support and getting my computer away from standing desk I'm super happy with it. Glad it worked out for you!
Yeah, I'm gonna make a prediction: That Minisplit is gonna leak on your workbench/desk at some point. Make sure it is serviced by a HVAC technician who knows how to clear a drain line, clean the coils and actually cleans the filters. I've seen/had to fix ones that were not well installed, well maintained and neglected. I don't like them be it in my own home or install/servicing them. I think you'll be fine as you're likely to keep it in good order but just make sure the drain line is clear at all times. Using a shop vac on it once a month to clear the drain is a good idea, same time you clean the filter. (You clean the filter, right?)
I was thinking the same thing. It may take years or months but I've seen it happen too many times. Maybe just a few drops but that could be enough to kill electronics near it
Well considering how easy it is to take the cover off a heatpump clean both the coils and drip tray, it really doesn't have to become an issue. Heaps of videos showing how to take these units apart, and you don't have to make a huge mess cleaning them either. 🤷♂
Is that even a wallmounted movable ac... Or simply the inside unit of a minisplit? On my unit, the drain is outside, on the outside unit/part of minisplit.
I've had the OG Core P3 mounted on my wall for the past 5-ish years, best decision I've ever made... Happy to see one of my favourite tech creators make the transition. It's gonna need a lot of regular dusting, but it frees up so much of your desk space that the trade off is more than worth it.
I made a similar comment before seeing yours and I agree with it all. I got my P3 case in 2020 during the pandemic when upgrading to 10th gen i9, but I never did end up wall mounting it. As I said above I think this gives me the inspiration to finally mount mine. It's just been on my powered desk behind the monitors. The dust is something I've had to content with as well. Although a few months in I changed my fan profile for my AIO fans to ramp up per the temp and they stay off under 40c
That's a killer case! And a killer overall look! Nice work Paul and Joe! Another sweet video! Thanks for takin us along for the ride and the evolution of how everything is coming together!
I've been building my own computers for over 20yrs. I've never seen a wall mounted case with a vesa mount. Never really thought to look for one to be honest, cool idea and great solution for your studio!
I didn't know you could wall mount a case with a VESA mount. That looks really cool. The original setup did make me feel uneasy as to safe that would be long term.
It's refreshing to watch you go through your builds and try different things unsure if it will work or not, which is pretty much how projects like this go
I got the same case about a year ago - overall I love it! Don't have it wall mounted so it's about the most inefficient use of space for a pc build, but I get endless compliments on it. Fits a chonktastic 64mm thick 420 radiator, and I put in an (almost pointless and needlessly expensive) open loop water cooling system for cpu/gpu. My only critique is that there should be more perforation on the back panel, airflow from a rad going out the back is restricted.
i built my wife's system in the first gen Core P3 several years ago. very solid construction, and easy to work with. been really happy with it. hers is wall mounted as well
I've owned a P3 for a few years now and I bought mine as a test bench for new builds. It is a very unique product with lots of options. Great pick for a wall mount. 👍
I'd suggest mounting a vertical rail about 6 inches from the back side. This will let the connectors come off the ports straight and then have a more gradual curve down along the rail where they can all bundle more neatly before they head down to the desk. Should give a cleaner look and be better for the cables.
I felt a splash of nostalgia seeing that American Megatrends boot screen. It was on my first PCs more than 30 years ago. Nice to see that some things don't change.
I have had my PC wall mounted for about 6 years now, it has honestly been great. It frees up a bunch of space and the PC stays much more clean in general. Plus is just looks nice
I have the same case (non-pro) and wall mounted it last summer. Best decision I ever made. I also have it on an articulating wall mount for easy maneuvering. if I need to change anything. and easily take it off the wall. I was eyeballing this series for almost a year before and I've never been happier with a case. Good choice, man!
funny enough I also am in socal and did a very similar build. same "case" and same mount! I opted to only use half of the mount without the center attach bracket. this means I could only grab 1 stud so I just centered on it so there is no overturning moment. one thing to be careful of is in the case of an earthquake, the PC can slid on the back bracket left and right so I recommend a stopper in there to ensure it doesn't move too much. also, I got the Corsair shift psu prior to deciding to mount on the wall, which made things quite awkward when mounting it! love the video and glad I wasn't the only to take the dive!
I have one of these for my 2pc setup. Love having it hanging on the wall. Always get compliments too from people who see it and say it’s a heck of an idea.
As a former infrastructure cabling technician who has mounted thousands of TVs, +1 for using Mounting Dream for the wall mount! They seem to be the most reliable, with kits that include everything needed, while also being competatively priced. Almost as cheap as the "onn" brand, which is usually cheaper but may not include enough plastic spacers or washers needed for specific setups (commomly stocked at walmarts)
My PC is wall mounted similarly to what was shown at the beginning of the video, with a simple shelf below + I drilled a keyhole shaped hole in the side panel facing the wall (two adjacent holes, one slightly larger than a screw head, one slightly smaller). One screw in the wall is enough to keep everything in place and it could easily sustain the weight of the PC on its own without the shelf.
I love this case. The only case in the market that has ample space to vertically mounted a 4090 and Sound Blaster card with two extender risers. Good spacing between vertical 4090 and NH-U12A cooler so can remove the GPU effortlessly. Mounted it using fixed TV wall bracket. Comes with all the fittings and about 3 inches gap between the wall and the case.
Nice placement Paul. I would had suggested using like a spare 2x4 or wood plank that would had been installed between the studs but you did made sure its secured. For the wires, a DIY in wall kit could clean and/or hide the cables yet having longer cables for that USB hub could help to bring that HUB and card reader closer to you.
I have the original P1 micro pc case for Thermaltake and the wall mount was the main reason I got it. 7 years ago and three upgrades later it’s still on the wall!
I have a core P5. Some mods i've made. A top sided radiator bracket, went to Lowes and got 1"x 1/4" aluminum bar & 3/4" black rubber hose clamps with an offset clamping point so they can wrap around the metal posts and bolt onto the aluminum plate. I also added a 90 degree radiator bracket towards the front to have 2 140mm front facing fans. As for fans, Arctic fans are the best sound to performance bar none.
I really like the open chassis on the TT P3. I decided against using the glass even, which eliminated having to use the top 2 mounting posts, giving it an even more open assembly and really shows off the entire build. Mine does sit on a desk, so I still had to use the bottom 2 posts to mount the base. I have a custom loop so it fills in the mounting space to the right of the motherboard nicely. Not using the glass panel would be an easy solution to the reflection you mentioned at the end of the video.
I think I've watched this about 5 times now. I'm looking forward to building on this chassis. Paul, there is a video I've seen where you can cut into the sheetrock and place some cable channels which allows you to hide the cables really well.
Fun DIY video as usual! 14:50 Yep! I've gotten the habit over time to switch the PSU off then press the power button on the system a few times to expend power before messing with it. At least with my current build and PSU it will sometimes attempt to start for a second on first press, but for the second press it clearly doesn't attempt to start. 👍
I did a wall mount of mine with the same case a year and a half ago and it’s awesome. Has been great with the vertical gpu mount and I had used the same vesa mount you did as well and ended up just using half of it. But I don’t have to worry about studs in this wall so really didn’t matter where the anchor points were.
i have this case, its in white. i built it two years ago. its wall mounted in my living room on a 3 axis swivel TV mount. there are so many files out there for 3D printing on this case. PSU covers, cable hides, radiator mounts. i have two 360mm and one 240mm rad on this case with a vertical mount 3080ti. its dead silent and a great case. does not really get dusty either.
Awesome Choice of Case Paul, I have a Thermaltake P6 and a monster P8 I also have a Tower 200 Just can't get enough of good old Thermaltake cases Excellent Video thx for sharing Paul YOU THE MAN!!
Nice to see - thank you for sharing your journey on this project. Was considering a abkcase for my project but this was a good input. When you asked “do I want aesthetics over function?”
I actually considered that mount but had no excuse to buy it. I have a NAS that needs a case but my main rig is a serious candidate because it is mostly NVMe drives. Good job, Paul!
13:05 We heard all three of those clicks when you connected up your 12VHPWR so here's 🤞 hoping that means you won't have a potential fire hazard instead of an earthquake hazard. Wall mount option you chose looks way more awesome than using an earthquake strap 👍👍
2:06 - "Here's a temporary solution, only to come back to it several months if not a year plus later..." Especially remarkable since I just read an article about how the Windows 11 "Format Disk" UI was a temporary solution - made during the changeover between Windows 95 to the Windows NT kernel, 30 years ago.
I actually have that case in white, I even got it for the exact same reason, I needed to get my old case off of my desk and didn't want to put it on the floor. Good choice Paul.
During covid I got that same case to wall mount but never ended up doing that. Just sits on my desk but I do like the case a lot, other than it can get dusty. I have an EK 360 AIO and even though its on my desk it still sucks the cats hair into the rad fins, at least before I set my fans to only ramp up when it gets warm. Altogether its a great case but I do have the older model. Getting the back plate off of yours is WAY easier than mine. Mine has hooks that need to slide in and to the side to line up the screw holes. Anyway, I know you'll like it and I think you've inspired me to stop procrastinating and mount the damn thing to my wall!
Was really funny to see you had te same issue I had with the wall mount. I build in the p3 last week and had a 2 part bracket which was 3 inches to wide. Ended up replacing the mount for a vogels slim fit one. Enjoy the space on the desk 👏
Crazy part is, I am using that exact same Be Quiet case in my build, and the last rev P3 wall mounted for my wifes, both great choices, just keep in mind the VRM's in the P3 case can get touch warm. Good choices all around though!!
im at he point of the video where he is unboxing the thermaltake case. i did this about 5 or so years back and depending on the TV or wall mount you could have issues still. with mine i had a tv wall mount that would allow you to rotate the screen and the case was heavier on one side and would always rotate down unless i somehow stopped it from rotating, i have since built a custom wall mount system and have them solidly on the wall. i Took the sliding/rolling Barn door approach with the new mounting system. i did this as if i have to work on the PC i can simply roll it over to the door to my room and remove it easily from the wall. i would wall mounting PC's to you as it will clear up space on the desk.
i wish you got the P5, it can be customized in more ways than the P3, i have P5 and P3 side by side wall mounted above my 2 ASUS neo g9 monitors stacked top each other.
I had a build in the TG1 when it first came out. Always planned/wanted to wall mount it but my wall’s stud spacing was/is stupid so it (sadly) ended up on the floor. Still love the chassis series, would totally build in them again.
I still rock the original P3. Still need to get a PSU mount for it. I bent some brackets just so I could mount the PSU. Still works and still looks great. The 420mm AIO I have barely fits but it does and so I will keep this case for a bit longer!
I have wallmounted and watercooled PC in Core P5 for over 6 years. Under AC. Also have the case rotated 180, basically upside down. Originally got it because it was easiest how to mount SSI-EEB Asus dual socket Xeon board to something not expensive and not bad looking. I kept it when upgrading to AMD. I do like it very much, will not go back to normal case.
Get a darker matte colored static cling of your logo made and put it on the glass. It will cover the fan slots and minimize the reflections. If you get several different ones made with your 8 bit styles, you could change them out, since they would be static clings, and maybe sell a few as well.
Minimal lighting but it looks beautiful with it - the GEFORCE logo is a nice white accent. I think the aesthetic of the glass panel has overemphasised matters and caused a new kind of anxiety but the wall mount option is solid! Nice one man.
I got the largest bamboo cutting board I could find on the Home Depot site and a couple of brackets similar to the ones you're using for your shelf. Wide and sturdy. EDIT: Make sure to mount the brackets on the studs (if possible)... and don't live in an earthquake-prone area :)
That is my exact case. I have it sitting on the desk as mounting it on a wall will be difficult to access for maintenance, etc. It is a very heavy case. You would think it has good cooling, being open but not. I had to mount an additio9nal fan to provide better airflow.
have you looked at if a polarized filter on the glass would help with the reflection? I know they do a lot on cameras but not sure how well they do if the glass pane itself has the filter on it.
Look for transparent non-reflective coating sprays. That might be just what you need in order to get the glass on the case to not be so shiny. Drawback being is that you'll lose the high gloss finish, and the spray, depending on how it's made, may etch the glass. Check the label. :)
off topic...but have you done a review of your solar install and the cost/benefits so far as of lately? or if its paid for itself? kinda was wondering that...🙂
Love this case (you'll understand in a minute)....I have the ThermalTake Core P3 for my older pc (built 2016), which has been replaced by the Thermaltake Core P6 TG for my new pc (built 2023) and they are both on display as they are both custom water cooled. So art as well as pc's 😎
There's aluminum extrusion PC frame that you can mount your stuff onto, basically a test bench that can stand vertically. You can just install a hook hole meant for drives / water coolers on the top of the frame and use hooks to mount the PC to the wall. That's how I do it. The frame costs me about 20$.
Was going to suggest you use timeless Thermaltake P3/5 👍 It has been on market for years and it still rocks. Just vacuum it twice a year or so. Open cases are half as bad as some think.
My biggest issue with those wall mounted cases are where they put the buttons, they know it's going to go on a wall, so why don't they put the buttons at the bottom, so they're easier to reach once wall mounted? Maybe a little feedback for Thermaltake so they can improve their design next time.
newer dark rock pro psus aren't fully "off" when they're switched off, like most psus would be. if it's plugged in at all, the board will be getting some level of power. might just be a 5v rail, not entirely sure. expected behavior according to bq.
they make wall mountable cases now. Very interesting. I doubt I would ever do it because it just looks terrifying to me, but it's certainly worth considering.
I feel a less anxious about Paul's former hardware on a shelf and will sleep a bit easier. As long as the garage wall handles the Big Shaking One that 4080 etc. should be okay. Thanks for listening to us commentors as well as Joe.
For my next upgrade I may get that case or one similar, it would be nice to have my PC on a TV mount and roll it to my bedroom (if and when I'm unwell, so I can play games etc).

Yeah, I'm gonna make a prediction: That Minisplit is gonna leak on your workbench/desk at some point. Make sure it is serviced by a HVAC technician who knows how to clear a drain line, clean the coils and actually cleans the filters.

I was thinking the same thing. It may take years or months but I've seen it happen too many times. Maybe just a few drops but that could be enough to kill electronics near it
Well considering how easy it is to take the cover off a heatpump clean both the coils and drip tray, it really doesn't have to become an issue. Heaps of videos showing how to take these units apart, and you don't have to make a huge mess cleaning them either. 🤷♂

Core P3 pro on the wall says "Hold my beer" to earthquakes :D

i wish you got the P5, it can be customized in more ways than the P3, i have P5 and P3 side by side wall mounted above my 2 ASUS neo g9 monitors stacked top each other.
Got the same brand dark power pro 1000 watt for the 4070 ti with the 12vhp and works great and can't hear the fan
I was thinking you should have made a computer case hammock. That way its off the floor and you can let it hang low.
bless you Paul for keeping YT janky
I had a build in the TG1 when it first came out. Always planned/wanted to wall mount it but my wall’s stud spacing was/is stupid so it (sadly) ended up on the floor. Still love the chassis series, would totally build in them again.
I still rock the original P3. Still need to get a PSU mount for it. I bent some brackets just so I could mount the PSU. Still works and still looks great. The 420mm AIO I have barely fits but it does and so I will keep this case for a bit longer!
I have wallmounted and watercooled PC in Core P5 for over 6 years. Under AC. Also have the case rotated 180, basically upside down. Originally got it because it was easiest how to mount SSI-EEB Asus dual socket Xeon board to something not expensive and not bad looking. I kept it when upgrading to AMD. I do like it very much, will not go back to normal case.
I have my Alienware R14 on a wide shelf, reinforced with extra strength Velcro for extra stability without any issues. Keep up the great content!
Oh I love the Be Quiet silent base 802 case. One of their best cases Be Quiet has ever made.
Kudos to Joe, and I think you did a good job. And those sideburns are getting serious.
That's why teamwork makes the dream work.❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Get a darker matte colored static cling of your logo made and put it on the glass. It will cover the fan slots and minimize the reflections. If you get several different ones made with your 8 bit styles, you could change them out, since they would be static clings, and maybe sell a few as well.
Minimal lighting but it looks beautiful with it - the GEFORCE logo is a nice white accent. I think the aesthetic of the glass panel has overemphasised matters and caused a new kind of anxiety but the wall mount option is solid! Nice one man.
For the cables, go behind the case and run a passthrough going down, into the wall, to the floor.
I love the idea of a wall mounted case! I would love to do this on my next build. It would free up so much space!
I got the largest bamboo cutting board I could find on the Home Depot site and a couple of brackets similar to the ones you're using for your shelf. Wide and sturdy.
EDIT: Make sure to mount the brackets on the studs (if possible)... and don't live in an earthquake-prone area :)
Good choice. My work and gaming PCs are wall mounted using these cases and the same VESA mounts you got...
That is my exact case. I have it sitting on the desk as mounting it on a wall will be difficult to access for maintenance, etc. It is a very heavy case. You would think it has good cooling, being open but not. I had to mount an additio9nal fan to provide better airflow.
Core P3 has always been one of my favorite cases.
have you looked at if a polarized filter on the glass would help with the reflection? I know they do a lot on cameras but not sure how well they do if the glass pane itself has the filter on it.
Regarding the reflections, you could just spray paint a matte clear coat to reduce reflections on the glass.
Look for transparent non-reflective coating sprays. That might be just what you need in order to get the glass on the case to not be so shiny. Drawback being is that you'll lose the high gloss finish, and the spray, depending on how it's made, may etch the glass. Check the label. :)
Man, your system is clean inside. Tidy job.
off topic...but have you done a review of your solar install and the cost/benefits so far as of lately? or if its paid for itself? kinda was wondering that...🙂
I got the Thermaltake P6 Snow-white case...I like it very much!
Mini splits - the drain line can clog over time with dust and dirt and leak down the wall. Make sure you have space to work on the mini split.

do you really need 2x capture cards in one computer ?
i'm asking cause i never had a capture card
Love this case (you'll understand in a minute)....I have the ThermalTake Core P3 for my older pc (built 2016), which has been replaced by the Thermaltake Core P6 TG for my new pc (built 2023) and they are both on display as they are both custom water cooled. So art as well as pc's 😎
That "case" is the GOAT. I use a white one wall mounted without the front glass panel.
There's aluminum extrusion PC frame that you can mount your stuff onto, basically a test bench that can stand vertically. You can just install a hook hole meant for drives / water coolers on the top of the frame and use hooks to mount the PC to the wall. That's how I do it. The frame costs me about 20$.
Love the vid Paul!, but also what I was thinking, is, daaaayyhm, them side burns are lookin'!
How efficiently your threadripper can be cooled using an air cooler?
Frost glass spray from Rustoleum on the TG will cut that glare and reflection from the light out pretty easily and cheaply!
Was going to suggest you use timeless Thermaltake P3/5 👍
It has been on market for years and it still rocks. Just vacuum it twice a year or so. Open cases are half as bad as some think.
My biggest issue with those wall mounted cases are where they put the buttons, they know it's going to go on a wall, so why don't they put the buttons at the bottom, so they're easier to reach once wall mounted?
Maybe a little feedback for Thermaltake so they can improve their design next time.
get some remote mounted buttons and maybe lights
@@profosist Not sure you can for the power. Also they should still do it in the next case to improve it.
newer dark rock pro psus aren't fully "off" when they're switched off, like most psus would be. if it's plugged in at all, the board will be getting some level of power. might just be a 5v rail, not entirely sure. expected behavior according to bq.
i would add a custom PSU cable with 90 degree plug. I got one from cablemod and it's fantastic
Weren’t those recalled?
That's a fantastic case. I'm sure that it will serve you well.
they make wall mountable cases now. Very interesting. I doubt I would ever do it because it just looks terrifying to me, but it's certainly worth considering.
You could avoid the glare by just taking the glass off. It's not really serving a practical purpose anyway.
Looks nice! Now if we can hide those rear cables, you would be legend. It's kind of the first thing I see in the long shot.
Thanks Joe. I was thinking about stg like that, just cable facing down
I think your curtains looks FABULOUS 🤓
a small system stat screen where the radiator would go would look cool.
I feel a less anxious about Paul's former hardware on a shelf and will sleep a bit easier. As long as the garage wall handles the Big Shaking One that 4080 etc. should be okay. Thanks for listening to us commentors as well as Joe.
For my next upgrade I may get that case or one similar, it would be nice to have my PC on a TV mount and roll it to my bedroom (if and when I'm unwell, so I can play games etc).
