    What do we think people?

    In theory I like the idea of a PC being wall mounted but looking at the video there looks to be a design flaw. Which on the O5 is large fan (140mm) hard up against the wall as the wall fixing slots are what you find on extension leads etc. which would seriously affect the fans ability to exhaust hot air air.

    I still like the look of these cases overall though.

    You'd need a pretty solid wall! I bet some people buy this and mount it on plasterboard - cannot wait for the 'help' threads to start appearing.

    Think the 140mm fan would only need 1CM or so for exhaust. The ITX version is less attractive as it doesn't support CPU AIO coolers.

    Hmm, 1cm or 10mm is a fair gap and would look odd if suspended on a couple of screws with that sort of distance. That type of aperture in the case really needs to fit fairly flush to the wall for a decent fixing. If you were to fix hard to the wall ,or as hard as the thumbscrews allow then plasterboard is not an issue provided you use the correct fixings.

    I really like the look of these cases. Saying that, only the ITX versions make sense to me because of the way you have to mount the GPU. Larger boards in the larger cases with just look a bit silly and have a lot of waster slots. The PC-05S appears the best because you should be able to fit a 240mm AiO cooler.
