    Antec Skeleton

    Anyone got one ? and can they post a picture of the underside ?

    I need more desk space, and am thinking of mounting the Skeleton on the wall above my desk - at standing eye level, above my monitor.

    If you do make sure its securely fixed to the wall, as it is going to be weighing 10+ kg with the case, PSU and all the heatsinks. A picture hook is not going to be enough

    Actually, I thought I might use selotape - you think that'll not be strong enough

    tbh - I don't care about the cooling, my CPU, RAM and Graphix are all water cooled, I just think it'll look ace nailed to the wall, with the water pipes from my resterator looping in and out - like a piece of modern art

    Maybe not

    We've one in the labs and got to say everyone who looks at it loves it

    It's outside the box chassis design - it's aimed at all of those who want something different...

    Yes but is it a case of "everyone loves to look, but nobody buys?"

    I rather suspect so!

    If watercooling make sure your pump is powerful enough to get the water to the op of the loop, gravity will help it back down but you need sufficient pumping power to overcome the height in the first place.
