Contrary to popular belief, wall-mounted PCs DON'T get dusty.
In fact, some wall-mounted PCs may be cleaner than your regular PC sitting on the floor.
This does depend on a couple of factors, but if your concern is your PC getting dustier easily, then worry not.

Yes, you can.
You can either DIY it or buy a wall-mounted PC case.
In order to put your computer on the wall, you need to buy a wall-mounted PC case.
These cases are designed differently from your regular PC cases - they have slots and holes where you would put each individual PC component.
The case is designed for it to be able to get drilled into the wall.
Your other alternative is to simply put a floating shelf (that can withstand the weight of your PC without falling) and placing your regular PC on said shelf.
Yes, you can wall mount All-in-One (AIO) computers.
There are specific mounting arms designed for you to wall-mount your AIO computer.
These mounting arms are the same as the regular VESA mounting arms you would usually mount your monitors with.
Wall-mounted PCs are a great choice for people who don't have space on their desks, and it's an even better option if you want an eye-magnet on your setup.
But wall mounts aren't perfect - they do take a lot of planning and extra effort to build, not to mention literally making holes in the wall of your house.
However, if you're up for the task wall-mounting your PC can be incredibly rewarding.
