I have a fascination with designing and building techstations...here are some I had up on a shelf in the shop...pardon the dust 
Wood, Metal, Acrylic, PVC...I can find pics of all the others too...this is just what I had up on the shelf.
No screw or glue holds this one together: just the joinery. Strong, light, inexpensive in materials. Takes a bit of time to set up the saws to make one.
Holes in the mobo shelf for cable and tubing management. I had this one set up with an MCR320/MCP650/EK250/FuZion system.
Holds 6 HDD in the LL QQuick release and room for an underslung triple rad too...
A friend of mine wants me to make a simple vertical techstation that could be stackable. I've made three different sizes of these and this is the smallest...
Had this one set up with a mATX and used the extra room to mount a pump and Rad up top.
Could be laid flat too.
I love these Lian Li mobo trays (you can get them from PPC). I've made a number of variations on this acrylic and aluminum angle base.
A LL HDD tray is attached to the underside of the mobo tray, PSU and ODD go below
I've had a 240 x 240 Magicool, a PA 120.2, an MCR220 and now a PA160 in this rig...I just keep changing the acrylic panel
A prototype I am working on
All thread, tubes and acorn nuts hold the frame together.
Light, rigid, strong...I'll be working on this one some more
Teensy Weensy Tech station with removable LL tray
Cubbies for the PSU, ODD, and 2 HDDs.
Constructed entirely from extruded or expanded PVC.
Neoprene on base keeps it quiet.
It's a rapidly built proof of concept so it's not exactly beautiful.
Here's a Vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFWD2v-_RBc it's currently processing so after a few minutes should be available for viewing.
Enjoy
