This is so great! I literally just bought an ATX bench last week to start my second case mod. I thought I was the only one cuz I rarely ever see them get modded. Now I have to try harder to make it look as nice as yours.

Oh I just picked up a DIYPC Alpha GT3 from eBay. It's just a plain old frame bench made from acrylic and steel posts. I can do alot with it though. The layout is somewhat similar to the XB. I just like the idea of a compact ATX case. Everybody is working on towers nowadays so it's nice to do something different.

Never heard of that before. It looks pretty cool...looks like something with a lot of potential!

Yeah, thats exactly why i work with cubes. Everyone mods towers! I love everything with a horizontally mounted motherboard!

I look forward to seeing your bench here on the gallery... Good luck modding!
