Repurposing an old iMac Login/Join

I have a 2011 iMac. Huge thing. I need it off of my workbench as it takes up valuable space. There doesn’t seem to be any mounting options on the back and I’d like to mount this on the wall between my stereo speakers. It’s going to be my music server.

Has anyone mounted an old iMac or know of a mounting system for such a computer?

Do I have to screw it into the aluminum back cover? I can’t see on my iMac where it would connect. I was hoping to not have to modify the iMac case.

Just install a very short shelf and sit it on it.

This is probably the best option. Thanks.
