Hey guys, I would like to show you my wall mounted gaming PC.

How are you supposed to protect it from dust?

It actually doesn't dust that much. And I can use these air-in-a-can if I really need to clean it.

I've busted my DIY front face controller when I've put power connector in reverse and it flew 12 volts across 5 volt bus, now I have the button cable dangling on the side of the case, I short it with a jumper wire to start the PC. Another cable comes out of it, and it's connected to a potentiometer, it controls the power fans (triple set, 5k RPM).

>>13811383

That's a myth.

A closed system with fans constantly replaces the hot air inside it, whereas in an open system the high pressure on the exhaust of fans and low pressure on the intake of fans causes the fans to constantly take in the hot air they just put out.

An open system is cooler and more power efficient (electronics lose efficiency at higher temps) than a closed system with no case fans though, because then the case will just keep the air that does escape from the high pressure/low pressure loop in.

>>13811400

Dust is only a problem when it accumulates on the radiator and stops hardware cooling - and you fix it with a brush or some compressed air. Passive components don't give as much as a sliver of shit about dust: it's inert, non-conductive, doesn't weighs anything. Also the very reason the dust can get there is because the air in the room was filled with dust to start with. So "lol lungs" is a dumb argument - the dust was always there, it's just radiator grill is very good at gathering it so it's visible.

Well I've been building a number of my own PC cases and I know for a fact that open case with some fans blowing is several times superior to a closed case temperature-wise. Hot components put out tons of heat and to maintain adequate temperatures a lot of air needs to be pushed over the radiator, and that just won't happen in a closed computer case unless you put industry blower on it, these rinky dink 0.5 amp fans do not do shit. I have 5 amps worth of recirculating fans on my case and that still doesn't do nearly as well as if I simply remove the case and let these the fans blow over the electronics.

Also "temperature reduces efficiency" is bullshit. Technically it does but on a very small scale. The real issue is that transistor gates are tiny and burn out easily, plus they can put out so much heat that the solder comes off and they lose contact with the circuit - this is the most common GPU failure mode, die melts the solder and comes off the board.

I personally have always wanted to build a PC inside of my wall

Let me explain

On my wall I want for there to be a little door like the ones used to cover braker boards, except inside will be PC components instead.

To access the I/O I want to route extension cables to a specified location in my house through the walls to socket panels alongside mains sockets. this also would include routing HDMI cables as well.

To cool the PC I will add an air duct from the PC compartment in the walls to the homes air vents.

My vision is a completely utilitarian, house computer! An alternative reality where computers become a utility found in all homes in the same vein as plumbing and electric. And I will accomplish it one day…

Well then I'm not sure about the open vs closed situation right now.

The efficiency stuff is real though, I tested it when I bought my current PC.

Try disabling your gpu, disabling any kind of power saving on your memory, setting your hard drive(s) to spin up at maximum speed always, locking your cpu to max frequency and then running a cpu-stressing program while tweaking the cpu fan's speed.

With my core i7 4770 I got 41~c at the highest fan speed and then the highest temp I allowed was 75c with the fans going slower. This 34c difference on the cpu was enough to cause a 14w higher power use reading on the wall, definitely more than just the cpu fan consuming more power and a significant difference for a 84w cpu.

It probably matters even more on more modern cpus because the transistors are smaller.

That actually sounds pretty practical, and it'll make your pc effectively silent because you'll be far away from it. Might require some fuckery for HDMI cables, for some reason their latency is huge. For instance it's common to route long HDMI connections through a cat5 cable with an active adapter or the latency makes the screen unusable.

If you're like me and have a trillion bazillion fans hanging around that you'll never use because they scream like a certain soviet commercial flight supersonic plane, you could even put them to work and at maximum speed.

Another way to handle this would be just a single vent going to the houses vent system instead to act purely as an exhaust vent, meanwhile I can have a fan blowing air from underneath instead of from another house vent
