Wall mounted pc

dpgc · Sep 24, 2011

Hi there!!
I am planning on making a wall mounted pc!
It would look similar to this.

I have sketched up some rough details of my design.

The pc will be used to power my uber pc sim rig

!!

So, i have the following question. Will the HDD be alright in that position? Or it would be better to mount it in its natural 90 degree angle??

awesome! am thinking of doing this for a while now, but i have no space!

glass cover seems epic, put some blue leds/cathods

i think it should be 100% fine, the clusters are held down pretty tight in there

I am thinking about some leds, that would be really nice!

So now i only have to save up some money for the parts and the modding will start!! :clap:

It will not matter what position the hard drive is in as long as you don't move it while it's on. Think back to high school physics....holding the bicycle wheel, having someone spin it and then try to change its pitch. The same resistance that the bike wheel exhibits will also occur with the HD's platters. Desktop drives cannot withstand as much movement as laptop drives, partly due to the difference in the mass of the platters and partly due to differences in design.

Mount them in any position on the board.

Thanks for the information!!! I will install it with no worries!!

Indeed - it's called gyroscopic precession.
