Pegboard PC
(lemmy.world)
I designed 3D printed components to mount my ITX + 3080 + SFX to an IKEA Skadis pegboard, so it can be wall-mounted behind my TV.

That's cool, but I can already imagine all the dust it's going to accumulate.
I was thinking just put a roof over it like a bus stop but I remembered that dust works differently than rain.
my tarp-wrapped tower has never once gotten water damage, strangely enough i keep having the replace the cpu tho
You’re right on the line between this being a joke and someone actually being serious.
Good job, I’m confused and scared.
I think I'm going to try for a distilled water submerged build. DI is not conductive, right?
For the sake of the joke, yes. As long as the water remains pure. But once some of the material starts to dissolve into the water, then it's no longer safe.
Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it's been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.
Also it's mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it'll be.
We sweep our floors every day and vacuum twice a week and I need to clean my tower dust covers every two months.
Wow, we only vacuum once a week, that's it. Maybe its because my tower is on my desk? Or our air is just really clean for some reason...
It really depends where you live. Some places are very dusty, especially if it's generally dry and/or windy.
Getting it off the floor helps a lot. I used to work in an office with carpet, and when we got new PCs I sat the keyboard box on the floor and put the PC on top of that.
Might not be that bad. My computer picks up way less dust sitting on my desk surface than it did when I had it on the floor, and I imagine OP's TV is mounted at least as high as that.
I'm personally worried about the GPU's heat harming the wires over time. I would've mounted it vertically, but I've never seen custom extensions that do that.
