Streacom is delighted to announce its involvement in forming the Open Benchtable Project, joining with OverClocking-TV and HWBOT to create an open, community-developed benchtable that towers above current offerings in terms of portability, esthetics and general design. The first prototypes of the Open Benchtable design, manufactured by Streacom and referred to as the 'Special HWBOT World Tour Edition', will be used by overclockers during OC Workshops and contests throughout the World Tour, including forthcoming events in Europe and North America.

"We are excited to bring the HWBOT World Tour Edition benchtable with us on the World Tour, giving us a chance to expose our latest design to the global OC community," commented Timothée Pineau, head of Project Development at HWBOT and VP of OverClocking-TV. "We are confident that overclockers of all levels and abilities will be impressed and appreciate the portable design and open nature of the Open Benchtable project."



The Open Benchtable Project : Designed By Overclockers For Overclockers on the Go
The Open Benchtable project is the brain-child of several conversations with Streacom dating back to Computex 2015. Overclocking is a community driven hobby and sport where overclockers are willing to traverse the globe to get benching with like-minded people. Initially the project arose out of a desire to develop a benchtable that would be suited to the needs of an overclocker who tends to travel.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Streacom, the current prototype, the Special HWBOT World Tour Edition is a solid proof of concept. Subsequent retail models from Streacom will be branded as the BC1 benchtable. Measuring 36 cm x 27cm and with a thickness of only 8mm, the Streacom BC1 is made from a single piece of milled aluminum, making it light (only 2.5kg), portable yet rugged and ideal for carrying on the road. Despite its sleek light design the Open Benchtable is in fact extremely solid and designed to offer overclockers support for a full subzero cooled rig, including a CPU pot plus four LN2 cooled VGA cards.

Central to the design is the ability to neatly store the table's components within its sleek aluminum base. The legs of the table, plus screws and other components reside within a cavity in the table's main base which is easily sealed for transportation. The result is elegant, refined, light to carry and utterly effective in an overclocking session, wherever you are.

Perhaps the most crucial aspect of the Open Benchtable project is that its design is open to third party developers of additional accessories. Started by HWBOT and OverClocking-TV and later joined by Streacom, the project will allow full access to the blueprints files of the final product revision allowing third party developers to build accessories for these Open Benchtable products, modify and share their design improvements and more.

Ultimately, community enthusiasts will be able to share their own unique accessory designs via 3D files on the Open Benchtable site for others to use.

Pretty strong foundation . Accessories are very limited . legs function is unstable ,no where what to screwed on, no cable carriers. A lot of this and that there is missing. Shame , so spartan layout and aluminum is a conductor,and there is a lot of unprotected surfaces, how fast be something lie on this surface, and electrical contact is inevitable. it looks nice dou.

this spartan layout is for changing hardware very often when benching so you dont route cables.

I had a hands-on with this two weeks ago at the HWBOT World Tour in Cape Town, South Africa. This thing is surprisingly stable and strong, and it was very easy to pick up everything and move it somewhere else without it falling apart. I want one for myself for a test bench for work purposes.

so this will be awesome if the price is right. if you look at prices on them they are more expensive then some nice cases. Because you are paying a premium for the novelty or convenience of it. I will admit now a days they are cheaper then they used to be but if you want a nice one they are costly. I have one I built that looks almost exactly like the lian li test bench mine was made from an old rocket fish case I hacked up (rocket fish is lian li for those that dont know).

Looks nice, always glad to see a well-designed bench on the market...but I'll still stick with my Dimastech Easy V3. It's well built, easy to work with and looks pretty good for a bench (I like doing 'bling' builds on benches, just to get a WTF from non-enthusiasts)

I like it. For testing, not for running workstation it's perfect fit.

Small, compact and light. Especially for work "in the field".
