An enclosure is purely cosmetic. I attached my Pi5 to a piece of
cardboard with zip-ties and hung it down the back of my desk.

My other TV computer, a radxa zero, dangles off the hdmi cable, and I've attached it to the back of the OLED tv with some tape. It's lived happily there for a year or so at the moment.

 Try Velcro or double-sided tape ... works great for

 Once my wife complains too loudly, this is _exactly_ what I will try! My estimate is that the next time the tape let's go, and it sort of sticks out from behind the tv, that is the time I will be going down the velcro or double sided tape route. ;)

   I think it was rbowman I was talking to - the
   boss wanted 'muzak' for the office. So, I took
   an old Pi-1/256mb and a few long muzak tracks
   from 70s shopping malls and sneaked the wiring
   into the PA system. The tracks rotate every
   month. Worked for a dozen years and likely STILL
   does - so long as none of the muzak haters FIND
   the thing.
   There was about an inch behind where the PBX system
   was ... so I velcroed the unit to the back of the
   PBX box where it's almost perfectly invisible  :-)
   Proper muzak - you shouldn't actually HEAR it unless
   you TRY. Keeps some little corner of the brain occupied
   and, according to some, thus actually improves performance
   on other tasks.
