Alphacool's CES 2026 display was packed with surprises, and we covered a bit here. However, the company has a lot more in store to show. During our visit, we noticed that there was a sample of the upcoming open PC enclosure called Benchtable, which borrows some elements from the Skeleton PC case with modular skeleton outside, held together by CNC-milled aluminium corners. With carbon fiber tubes representing the frame, the design is a sturdy construction that can accommodate workstation-grade E-ATX motherboards with virtually unlimited expansion space. For someone working on PCs consistently, extreme overclockers needing constant access to the CPU/GPU for pouring liquid nitrogen, or just someone who likes to admire the beauty of hardware, Alphacool Benchtable brings customization and capability to do anything. The company plans to release Benchtable this quarter, with pricing to follow.
