Alphacool is known for its high-end PC case and cooling components, and its latest product, the Apex Benchtable, is no exception. The Benchtable is an open-air case built for flexibility and rapid assembly and disassembly, and it supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX form factors, as well as radiators up to 360 mm and a smorgasbord of water cooling accessories. The Apex Benchtable comes in at €449.98 on the Alphacool online shop.

The Apex Benchtable is a modular frame consisting of CNC corner components connected by carbon fiber tubes. Owing to that modular design, the included 120 mm, 240 mm, and 360 mm fan and radiator mounts can be easily moved and repositioned to accommodate various hardware configurations or setups. It ships with a repositionable front I/O module with 2x USB 3.0 ports, a power button, and separate 3.5 mm mic and headphone jacks.

Over a decade ago, the BC1 Open Benchtable launched with one clear goal: the ultimate portable platform for traveling overclocking enthusiasts. Its minimalist, toolless, flat pack design proved so effective that it quickly became the benchmark for open air builds, evolving from road warrior to permanent showcase platform for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Portability demanded compromises: slim profile, simple brackets, no native support for complete vertical builds. Today we close those gaps with precision engineered accessories that extend the BC1's legendary versatility without changing its core DNA.

With the der8enchtable, Thermal Grizzly presents a professional benchtable with an active PCB, developed in collaboration with Jon "elmor" Sandström (ElmorLabs) and Roman "der8auer" Hartung (CEO of Thermal Grizzly, engineer, overclocker, and content creator). The der8enchtable is packed with features that simplify hardware testing, making it an invaluable asset for overclockers, content creators, hardware testers, and PC enthusiasts.

During Computex 2025, the der8enchtable was unveiled to the public and sparked significant interest—especially in the content-creation community. TechPowerUp magazine honored the der8enchtable with the "Best of Computex 2025 - Editor's Choice" award, and ArabOverclockers named it "Best of Computex 2025." The der8enchtable is now available.

To celebrate this year's March 14th, aka International Pi Day 2025, we are pleased to officially announce the BC1 Pi. The Raspberry Pi transformed computing with its compact size, affordability, and versatility, making it a favorite among hobbyists and engineers. As creators of the BC1 Open Benchtable, we know a thing or two about what goes into making a well-designed and durable test bench. Now, we're bringing that same philosophy to the Raspberry Pi with our new BC1 Pi - Open Benchtable - the perfect solution for testing, tinkering, and prototyping with your Raspberry Pi.

The BC1 Legacy
The BC1 Open Benchtable Pi brings the award-winning test bench to the world of single-board computers and Raspberry Pi. Following the legacy of the award-winning BC1 Open Benchtable series, the BC1 Open Benchtable Pi combines a sleek, premium look with toolless design.
