What do you guys think about this work bench?

PaulieG · Mar 5, 2008

I just ran across this by accident when looking for some other tools. I thought it looked like something that would work great for those of us who are constantly taking apart our systems. What does everyone think? Is it worth buying?

what work bench, theres no link or pic

Bytor · Mar 5, 2008

Its cloaked....

PaulieG · Mar 5, 2008

LOL. Link added.

das müffin mann · Mar 5, 2008

well in that case, i like it, quick easy access, but at the same time i kinda don't like how its so exposed (im a bit of a klutz) but it would definitely make a few things easier

Hawk1 · Mar 5, 2008

Yeah, I've seen and wanted one of those, but as I have 2 small kids who like to put their hands on my current case, would not be the ideal solution for me ATM.

Cold Storm · Mar 5, 2008

I think its a real good idea. This way you know the system works both in and outside of your computer case. Also, you can make it a "test rig" to where you can swap out different parts to try and check.
I like the work station A LOT!

PaulieG · Mar 5, 2008

I think I'd build a plexiglass cover for it, and install a front intake fan and a rear exhaust.

I've got two kids too, which is why I'd build a cover for it.

I was just looking at those myself, then Wizz posted this! http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CeBIT_2008/Foxconn/images/foxconn13.jpg
It should be here in a month to six weeks!

Yeah, I've been thinking of getting the DD Torture Rack

or their Airbox

but I've heard that acrylic gets foggy/scratched pretty easily (relatively).

That looks sweet. I bet the workbench at $79 is cheaper than this will be though. I'm guessing the microcool will be closer in price to the DD torture rack, which is more than I'm willing to pay.

Nice, but twice as much as the workbench.

I know

MilkyWay · Mar 5, 2008

defo none airflow problems and it will be as cool as room temp bad for dust and stuff if the room its in gets dusty

looks good if you have nice looking parts looks sturdy but wht about cabling wouldnt the psu being on the bottom be a problem?

PaulieG · Mar 5, 2008

I'm seriously considering this bench, and request some help from some of our resident modders to make an outside case for it.

MKmods · Mar 5, 2008

I heard about that modder guy...I bet he will make you a kick ass cover for it..

Shizelbs · Mar 5, 2008

I like that torture rack. Maybe that's what my next build will get.

wrong, lock the room, or them in their room, then just put a window air conditioner blowing right on the system or next to a central AC vent

JC316 · Mar 5, 2008

I like the looks of it alot, it would be easier to clean and easier to mod. I also like Nflesher's suggestions
