Pete,

I'm curious if you did do the benchmarking tests? I'm planning on making a wall mount, it would help if I could just remove the stand.. But I'm not certain if it does help cooling (at least a bit?)?

Never did test the O2 Joggler in the bracket I made. That said the Joggler 2 has a metal heat sink across the entire motherboard.

I'm fairly sure it is using the bracket for a heat sink. What I did with mine was remove the bracket, hammer it flat and install back in place.

Yup; the DIN brackets I installed are made of plastic then go to an aluminum DIN rail.

That will do do much relative to providing a heat sink for the O2 Joggler. The little DIN plastic brackets were easy to mount.

Best solution then would be to bend / cut existing bracket; then maybe fit a DIN bracket(s) on it or not utilize the methodology above.

I am still looking for putting an Openpeak touchscreen here in the bathroom. Its very much of a WAF thing though; such that I have to make it look nice.

Probably will just cut a hole into the drywall a bit smaller than the outside front pieces of the touchscreen. Then utilize some sort of a rubber band to pull the whole device to the wall. You can frame around the edges or if you do a very good job of cutting drywall; not have to do much else with the wall.

Relating to the Joggler 3. It would be easier as it has a detachable table top stand and you can replace it with some sort of device to hang the Joggler III on the wall. It appears to have been made for multiple means of use; IE: wall or tabletop.
