Wall mount or under mount computers are becoming a big trend. Not surprised one of the manufacturers are getting into it.
NTG cofounder Andy West did a wall mount of his own design in ~1997. It was super cool and I've always wanted to do that again since then.

Saves money on a big desk housing the unit. All you need it for the monitors and keyboard. That is really innovative.
-
It also does a lot to improve airflow. You're no longer shoving all those components in a hot box. I've been looking at doing a custom setup but have heard no so great things about the riser cables for newer graphics cards.

I wonder what the noise is like on a open case?
Not to mention the expense - that setup has to be HUGELY expensive. The case alone was $279

With that water cooling setup, the will be running slowly if at all, which means very quiet. Depending on the motherboard and graphics card, the coils for power conditioning/supply could be louder than anything else.
$279 for a wall mount case doesn't seem unreasonable to me, just considering what the hardware would cost for me to put something together myself. Expensive for a computer case, yes. Expensive for the specific task it was designed for, I'd say is reasonable.

It wasn't about unreasonable, it was just stating a starting price point for this setup. It it's less than $3000 for a middle of the road process and GPU, I wouldn't be surprised.
Normally, if you're going this extreme, I would expect to see $5k+

Actually I see a lot of people put just regular systems in fancy cases.

Well, I wouldn't be buying any cpu or gpu right now with the global shortages, prices are just crazy, but I know what you mean.

You can say that again - which is causing me an issue - cause I need machines for my office.

In that case - this case would SUCK! a normal fan on the CPU and GPU would be so loud in a case like this.

You forgot squeeze and burn.
