My New Bench Table *Its The Nuts*

Case Link (http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15100#)

Today i decided i would improve on my benching table. I don't use a case as i like to be able to pick-up my system go to the garage and use cascade when i like. This saves on having 2 PSU's and is extremely simple for me to swap motherboards to my everyday one i use :D.

The Case is Stock Form

PSU fits nice inside and has the air holes which are placed a treat already :D

Hey thanks everyone :biggrin:,.

When i mentioned it to Sacha he said go ahead do it. + make use of the case i got for nothing off a friend.

Best bit is it holds a single HDD for everyday windows. Also i can have a 300w PSU that comes with the case as standard to power some extra bits if i require it.

I had afew ideas from seeing everyone set-ups at the LN2 day. I had a massive peice of wood which had it all laid out on. This is 10000x Better :D

Plans

I plan to make a bracket that will hold a 120mm fan. Also i want a bracket that will screw to the back where i can screw the Gfx card to like on a normal case so it supports it. Will have to pop round my mates tomorrow see what scpare cases i can use :p

Any improvements lads?

That is such a good idea i think i may emulate it (if that isnt considered rude). It just looks ideal for transporting a setup around to different locations. I too had thought about the big wooden solution, but this is much neater and more logical. Especially as it has a home for all the ancillary parts that never need super cooled but still need to be present.

Very nice Dave, it turned out very well, now get some plastic feet on the bottom of that case, we don't want anymore damaged tables.

I'll assume that isnt anything to do with a Vehicle restraint :p Sorry, but working for Shell (idiots) has made me a bit safety concious. But not so much that i'm gonna make my boy wear padding to walk down the street or stop him climbing trees. *self slap for going OT*
