The 7 Best Wall Mount PC Cases of 2025
How to install and choose your case for this unique aesthetic
We updated this article after reviewing new and upcoming cases up to 2025. While our top picks remain the same after reviewing the new offerings this year, we’ve included a couple of alternatives for our picks that run into some stock issues.
Building a chassis on a desk is boring!
Wall-mounting your computer has become a great alternative in the past few years.
Though completing the DIY approach is hard and not for the novice.
Luckily, there is a small amount of dedicated wall-mountable PC cases available and we’ve broken them down in this wall mount case feature.
If you’re not keen on our top picks or they’re sold out, we’ve included some other options that could achieve wall mounting with PC mounters or shelves instead.

How to Wall Mount your PC
Before we get into the top picks, there are 3 main options you have when buying a wall-mounted PC case:
- Cases designed to be wall mountable (i.e. the Thermaltake picks below).
- These are towers that are compatible with high-quality TV brackets which will give you the best sturdiness, presentation, and ease of setup.
- Slim/small cases that can fit into a computer case mounter (we’ve detailed some smaller towers below that would work).
- If you want a larger case that isn’t option 1, your best bet is to buy/install heavy-duty shelf brackets.
- We’d recommend you purchase the wood/metal plank for the brackets from a local DIY store.
Now, let’s get to it!
Thermaltake Core P3
Overall Best Wall Mount PC Case
SPECIFICATIONS*
Form Factor: Mid Tower | Motherboard Support: ATX, Micro-ATX, mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 180mm | GPU Length Clearance: 280mm-450mm | Dimensions: 512 x 333 x 470 mm | Weight: 10.3kg | Radiator Support: 420mm | Fan Mounts: 3
REASONS TO BUY
+ Incredible build quality and aesthetic
+ Spacious layout with lots of modularity for parts and mounting
+ Open-air design provides great airflow
REASONS TO AVOID
Usually, in our best-of features, there’s a lot of deliberation for the top picks.
But if you want a chassis with wall mounting utility built-in, the Thermaltake Core P cases are easily the only ones we would highly recommend.
Don’t fret though, just because they’re the only good option, it doesn’t mean you’re not in great company.
The Core P3 stands as the best mid-range option in the series.
With an absolutely gorgeous design, this tower is covered with a thick, high-quality tempered glass panel over the top.
It’s suitable for vertical, horizontal, and wall mount orientations (with removable legs). Including a built-in bracket attachment on the back to work alongside a sturdy TV wall mounter.
The P3 is an ATX case/mid-tower with plenty of room for a wide range of builds, with:
- 8 expansion slots
- Vertical GPU install options
- VGA cards of up to 450mm (if radiator/reservoir removed)
- Hidden 2 x 2.5″ or 3.5″ + accessible 2 x 2.5″ or 3.5 storage bays
You’ll be well placed to create a powerful gaming PC here if desired.
As far as cooling goes, the case accommodates up to 3 x 140mm fans or a 420mm radiator.
This may seem low for a mid-tower, but because of its open-air design, it has plenty of breathing room for ventilation, very capable of overclocking.
You can take the cooling and space requirements one step further with the case’s high modularity/customization.
This means that a majority of the case’s parts (mounting facilities/drive bays, etc.) are removable.
This isn’t just great for an easier build process, but it improves ventilation, noise reduction, and style.
I’ve been super impressed with the Core P3. It’s a joy to build in and performs great in thermals. It feels like a product of a behemoth case manufacturer at the top of their game.
If you’re looking for the best wall-mountable PC case for both a beautiful and powerful build, I think this is an unrivaled choice for you.
2025 update: The Core P3 remains our top wall-mount pick for 4 years running! It’s the best mid-range balance between price, spec, build quality, and aesthetic.
If you’re you like the look of this but are building something extra large, Thermaltake has released an equally great E-ATX version of the case; the Core P3 Pro.
Thermaltake Core P7 (& P8)
Best Premium Wall Mountable PC Case
SPECIFICATIONS
Form Factor: Full Tower | Motherboard Support: E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 180mm | GPU Length Clearance: 280mm – 570mm | Dimensions: 608 x 333 x 570 mm | Weight: 25.5kg | Radiator Support: 480mm | Fan Mounts: 12
REASONS TO BUY
+ Beautiful design and top-tier build quality
+ Fantastic airflow/cooling options
+ Plenty of space for enthusiast builds
REASONS TO AVOID
2025 Update: While the P7 is still our top premium pick, I’ve seen it run into more stock issues this year. If unavailable, I recommend looking at either the fantastic P8 iteration or Cooler Master’s MasterFrame 700. If these are outside of your price range, the P6 and P5s are excellent mid-range alternatives.
The P7 is the top choice if you’re looking for the most powerful build possible with little budgetary concern.
While we think that the P3 will comfortably handle most gamers’ needs, the features on the P7 are mouth-watering.
Let’s start with the incredible space and what it can offer you:
- E-ATX motherboard support
- Alongside its 8 expansion slots, will allow you to install up to 4 GPUs
- Those graphics cards can be up to 570mm in length (reservoir removed)
- Installation of up to 6 x 3.5″ / 7 x 3.5″ drives (or a mix)
As much as this case excels in space and design, its cooling capacity is what impressed me the most:
- Up to 12 x 120mm / 9 x 140mm fans
- Up to 3 x 480mm radiators for liquid cooling
Alongside its fantastic ventilation and modularity options, the P7 is one of the best cases for water cooling/air cooling around. The perfect basis for a build focused on overclocking.
The wall-mounting capability and design are the cherries on top. One important note is that this option is heavy. I’ve seen it mounted sturdily on plenty of setups but you’ll want to check that you have a strong enough mount (and wall) to handle this case.
There wasn’t much I didn’t like about the P7. I would say that, for many, the extra features over the P3 will feel like major diminishing returns; this is really for those with huge aspirations in mind (e.g. mining rigs) or those who don’t really have to worry about budget.
With the two side compartments for the additional fans/radiators and the thick tempered-glass presentation similar to the P3, this is one of the best-looking cases available and would make a great base for an RGB build given its excellent visibiltiy.
If you want a larger case than the P3, or are willing to fork out more, you are in for such a treat.
Thermaltake Core P1
Best Mini-ITX Wall Mount Case
SPECIFICATIONS
Form Factor: SFF| Motherboard Support: mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 170mm | GPU Length Clearance: 380mm | Dimensions: 422 x 332 x 380 mm | Weight: 9.5kg | Radiator Support: 240mm | Fan Mounts: 2
REASONS TO BUY
+ Same fantastic design and quality as the larger Core P cases
+ Very good airflow relative to most ITX cases
+ Good space & cable management options
REASONS TO AVOID
Our final P-series/built-in mounting pick is the Core P1.
Another Thermaltake wall mount case, this is the case ideal for someone looking for a tiny build, with:
- 5 expansion slots/GPU lengths of up to 380mm (including vertical install options)
- 2 x 120mm fan or 1 x 240mm radiator support
- 1 x 2.5″/3.5″ inner and 2 x 2.5″ outer storage install options
The hardware support on this case is lower than the above picks, but that’s a given with a Mini-ITX PC.
You’ll be building a single-GPU setup in this form factor and the above specs + the open-air ventilation can easily handle this.
The case boasts the same great design, modularity, and high-quality tempered glass top cover as the P3/P7.
And of course, it still includes the wall-mounting options to attach to a bracket (due to its size, you’d get away with a smaller/lighter-weight bracket too if you prefer).
It’s also notably cheaper as mini-ITX cases often are due to less material. Usually, this is offset by the need to buy “specialist ITX parts”, but the P1 is pretty accommodating for many full-size components, so the price tag is a nice bonus.
If you’re looking for a wall-mounted PC case that also offers some portability, or simply don’t need the features that the top picks have and wanted something a tad cheaper, the Core P1 is perfect.
GDAE10 Open Frame Case
Best Budget Wall Mount PC Case
REASONS TO BUY
+ Very cheap
+ Perfect if you’re looking for a barebones, workbench-style chassis
REASONS TO AVOID
Let’s be clear, if you’re not an experienced PC builder, ignore this pick and focus on our other options, they’re worth the extra budget.
That said, we wanted to include something that was less than $100 as an option for budget builders.
This is the first pick on our list that doesn’t have dedicated wall-mount features (you would need to invest in some minimal shelving).
We would recommend the other cases (particularly the Core P series) in the article over this pick.
But if you’re looking for a cheap wall mount case and are ready to get your hands dirty, this may be a good option for you.
This is a DIY case. With very little in the way of features outside of the most barebone platforms for mounting the integral parts.
You’re still getting a slick open-air presentation that lends itself nicely to a budget build (i.e. less money spent on cooling), and if you are a DIY expert, you could makeshift your own glass enclosure around certain sides of the case/mounting shelves.
Reading this, you’ll see why we want you to stick with the Thermaltake Core options.
But if your budget is tight, your DIY/shelving skills are good and you aren’t building something too intensive, then you could still make a great wall mount gaming PC.
Thermaltake Core G3
Best Slim PC Case
SPECIFICATIONS
Form Factor: Mini Tower | Motherboard Support: ATX, Micro-ATX, mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 110mm | GPU Length Clearance: 310mm | Dimensions: 454 x 140 x 371 mm | Weight: 4.2kg | Radiator Support: 240mm | Fan Mounts: 3
REASONS TO BUY
+ Really impressive price-point for the quality
+ Beautifully compact
+ Decent airflow
REASONS TO AVOID
2025 update: As great as the Core G3 is, I’ve seen it run out of stock occasionally. Other great thin case options are available in our horizontal case feature.
If you don’t like the exposed tempered glass options above and want something a little more traditional, this is for you.
The G3 is a great all-around ATX case with lots of features for a very decent price.
It doesn’t have standalone wall-mounting options but is slim enough that it can work alongside an independent computer mounter (or a sturdy shelf if preferred).
The Core G3 is made with SECC steel, looking (and feeling) very sturdy.
Given it’s one of the slimmest ATX cases, you have limited room compared to other choices in this form factor. But still enough for:
- 2 x 2.5″ / 3.5″ hidden storage bays
- Up to 3 x 120mm fans (or replace 2 at the front with a 240mm radiator)
- VGA length support of up to 310mm (with front fans installed)
This is a build for single GPUs only (with a great-looking vertical install option included).
That being said, for a single graphics card PC, the available cooling is more than enough.
The build is very well ventilated to ensure your parts have decent breathing room.
The G3 is also (rather uniquely) a reverse tower. This means its window is on the right side as opposed to the usual left.
This would be great if you want to wall-mount it to the right of your desk (so that the front I/O panel is still available easily to you).
The Core G3 ticks a lot of boxes as long as you can fit the hardware you want in it.
Affordable, compact, and stylish. If this case fits your specifications, then I highly recommend it.
Fractal Design Node 202
Smallest PC Case
SPECIFICATIONS
Form Factor: SFF | Motherboard Support: mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 56mm | GPU Length Clearance: 310mm | Dimensions: 377 x 82 x 330 mm | Weight: 3.5kg | Radiator Support: N/A | Fan Mounts: 2
REASONS TO BUY
+ High quality, compact build/design
+ Layout can still manage solid hardware/airflow
+ Portable
REASONS TO AVOID
If you didn’t want any of the Thermaltake choices, we wanted to include the smallest case for wall mounting that we’d recommend.
The Node 202 is an incredibly low volume tower that excels as an HTPC case and could still manage to host a full gaming computer.
No in-built wall mounting options but due to its small size, it’s going to look great with either a PC mounter or on a shelf.
It also doubles as an incredible portable computer case (should you need something for LAN parties, a VR demo build, etc).
This Mini-ITX offering is a console-sized PC case with the excellent build quality, the design looks fantastic for those who enjoy a minimal style.
Despite the very tight dimensions, you can still achieve a gaming build with:
- Vertical/riser GPU install options up to 310mm in length
- 2 x 2.5″ SSDs (you can go with M.2 storage if you need more)
- 2 x 120mm fans
The fan availability and room for ventilation are of course low.
But as always with Fractal, the case is designed to maximize the small volume it has.
With separate chambers for the motherboard and GPU (the 2 fan slots being located in the graphics card section), you’ll still have adequate cooling for a single-GPU gaming setup.
If you’re building this you’ll need to pay attention to the dimensions of your parts and their compatibility.
But if you want the smallest computer case that suits wall-mounting, this is a great option from a fantastic manufacturer.
darkFlash Phantom
Honorable Mention
SPECIFICATIONS
Form Factor: Mid Tower | Motherboard Support: ATX, Micro-ATX, mini-ITX | CPU Clearance: 174mm | GPU Length Clearance: 375mm | Dimensions: 548 x 219 x 419mm | Weight: 8.8kg | Radiator Support: 360mm | Fan Mounts: 11
REASONS TO BUY
+ Beautiful glass and RGB fan aesthetic
+ Fantastic value for the build quality and fans included
REASONS TO AVOID
2025 update: If you like the RGB customization nature of the case, we recommend our RGB chassis feature to give you alternatives you could mount on a shelf.
We’ve raved about the Thermaltake P series and would push you towards these cases for the best wall-mounted computer.
But if you were looking at a shelf build, weren’t a fan of the open-air case design, and needed something large, we’re rounding off our list with a great option from darkFlash.
You may not have heard of this manufacturer, but they’ve made plenty of other decent cases (some of which I’ve reviewed and featured here and here).
This one stands out with its beautiful 3-way thick tempered glass covers, covering all the sides that would be well-visible on a shelved PC.
The case has a lot of great utility for a powerful gaming build, you could build a 2-way or 3-way VGA build (with cards up to 359mm).
The Phantom has great options to cool all of this too, with:
- Up to 11 x 120mm fans
- Or up to 1 x 280mm, 1 x 240 & 1 x 140mm radiators
For an ATX form factor, this fan allowance (alongside the good internal layout) makes it a fantastic choice for overclocking.
Not only that, but the version we’re reviewing comes with 6 RGB LED fans pre-installed.
This makes the case an incredibly high-value offering for RGB builds (if you think the pictures look good, RGB setups always look better in person).
Make no mistake, while we have talked a lot about the Thermaltake P1/3/7, we’ve included this for a reason.
If you’re looking for more of a traditional case and don’t mind it being on-shelf, the Phantom is an incredibly cheap case for the quality, style, and features you’re getting.
