wanting to do something different with my pc, fed up with the ugly box under my desk. Thinking of mounting all of the components flat on the wall and making it look cool with funky watercooling and heatsinks, a silent power supply etc!
Anyone seen anything like this done before or got any ideas on it?

My PC. Built it myself, and added neons for a cool effect (pimp my pc etc etc). It was top of the range (sort of) when i made it, but that was in the middle of 2005 (june-august), and alot changes in a few months. Specs:
Abit AI-7 Motherboard
Pentium 4 HT 3.06Ghz
Radeon 9800XT
1GB of DDR RAM
DVD Burner
DVD/CD Drive (for copying on the fly)
450W Power unit (specified as 500w when bought  )
200GB hard-drives (2)
6 Individual cooling fans (2 not seen, on side casing)
Gonna build a new pc soon enough, as AGP has become obsolete
