I agree it's a nice idea, I went that route with the G5 Power Mac. I discovered that the box is huge and to maintain accessibility you need a lot of room around the computer.
To me it's a wildly expensive solution if all you want is an absence of wires.
I have mounted my main i7 4 core on a false wall, the wires are all hidden behind the board. The 8'x4' 18mm MDF board cost £15. I have my screens on VESA mounts screwed to the board, and my shelves are screwed to the board, so I have a clear desk, and all the gubbins like USB hubs, cabling and the inevitable scores of PSU bricks are all hidden out of sight.
My UPS is the only large item on my desk in the corner. There are eight HD's, all working in the picture, plus my old original 2010 Mac mini which is acting as a server at the moment, that may change soon. I am finding the server unnecessary and a distraction, although it does have it's uses and it was an interesting experiment.
Just my two cents...
