I designed 3D printed components to mount my ITX + 3080 + SFX to an IKEA Skadis pegboard, so it can be wall-mounted behind my TV.

That’s cool, but I can already imagine all the dust it’s going to accumulate.
I was thinking just put a roof over it like a bus stop but I remembered that dust works differently than rain.
Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it’s been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.
Also it’s mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it’ll be.
We sweep our floors every day and vacuum twice a week and I need to clean my tower dust covers every two months.
Wow, we only vacuum once a week, that’s it. Maybe its because my tower is on my desk? Or our air is just really clean for some reason…
It really depends where you live. Some places are very dusty, especially if it’s generally dry and/or windy.
Getting it off the floor helps a lot. I used to work in an office with carpet, and when we got new PCs I sat the keyboard box on the floor and put the PC on top of that.
You could say you are a pegboard nerd
Oooh nice I’ve been wanting to hide my big living room PC, never considered behind the TV.
May I ask why you went with mini-itx? There looks to be plenty of room for at least a micro-atx, which would probably be cheaper and have greater expandability. Great job anyhow.
Good question, it’s mererly because I was using an ITX case with those hardwares, but it’s not easy to fit the case behind the TV, so I came up with this solution. If I start new, I might choose ATX instead

this looks good, I have saved another peg board 3d print set and plan to do this eventually. I have the board and a printer, its just the time to mess around and try to mount it as its technically custom depending on your PC setup. Just not sure I can manage with the downtime whilst I fiddle with Starfield out and party animals later this month :D
Is there enough airflow on the backside of the GPU?
You don’t really need any airflow there. The only thing that gets hot there is memory, but that is already cooled through the PCB (good heat conductor because of the copper), which is cooled by the regular heat sink.
Does it affect performance that the gpu is connected with that long of a cable?
Nope. As long as your signal still gets through without timing issues, everything behaves fine.
