Wish I had a better name. First, I want to think the many guys out there who already did insane wall mount PCS. My number one inspiration was this build called the Recoil Machine: http://www.overclock.net/t/1467135/wall-mounted-water-cooled-pc-the-recoilmachine
Anyways, NVIDIA wanted a custom rig for Maker Faire. I proposed we do a wall mount aquarium PC like we did for the Vanilla Ice Project but time contrants would not allow that so I opted instead to do an NVIDIA-themed wall mount PC. Granted, it really was not innovative as I just took what others have done and make it green (and added current technologies and processes such as Rigid PETG tubing.
The end result turned out rather well. Primochill played a HUGE role in this project by turning my sketchup into a CNC fabbed product. I could not have pulled this off without my partner Travis Jank (V2V3). He helped me finsih it and delivered it to Maker Faire in San Mateo for NVIDIA's booth - we also worked the event for them).
Let's get started with how this happened using CAD tools:
I sent Primochill a rough drawing which they used to get formal drawings done:
Lots of back and forth on the design part.
