A good
home for your hardware: Based on
HPTX form factor motherboard specifications.
It has a surface area of 15.75x16” on each bench which keeps the footprint
(relatively) small yet
will support hardware for a complete computer system! The motherboard is
perfectly secure on the upper shelf with a high friction rubberized standoff system
that supports the motherboard
1/4" off the bench surface (accommodates CPU cooler back plates and
increases air circulation). Nylon guide posts position the motherboard perfectly on
the Tech Station. Add-in cards are
securely locked in place with thumbscrews so the motherboard is safe yet
available for hands-on work and is easily removed. Hard Drive
Storage/Cooling Rail System: Slide the HDD's in/out on
TWO SETS of smooth non-conductive acrylic rails. Two
standard
3.5" hard drives or three 2.5" SSD's can be easily inserted in
each set of rails, protected and cooled by
rails suspended under the top shelf. One end of the HDD Rails open to
catch air from the 120mm cooling fans, a nylon stopper keeps the drive
from making contact with the fan. Set the rails for 3.5"
drives or re-set them for SSD's anytime. An optional Third
set of Drive Rails are also available.
No
loose Add-in cards,
4-Way SLI Compatible! The Add-In Card
support brace solves the problem of loose motherboard add-in
cards, loose cards can damage circuitry. The
brace offers universal support for all add-in cards - blocking no
cables or connections, and has some lateral flexibility to make
adding/removing cards easy. Nylon thumb screws twist into the top
of the brace and are positioned at ATX form factor spec locations (mITX
through eATX and XL/HPTX) so all your add-in cards can be locked in
place, including 4-WAY SLI!
Bottom shelf, load
it up:
The
lower shelf is for
stacking the drives and power supply. Includes a neoprene mat to
make the entire shelf a non-slip and non-conductive work surface. There
is plenty of real estate here to hold optical drives, extra hard disks,
even
liquid cooling components.
Power
the PC On/Off and monitor HDD activity: Plugging directly onto the motherboard, The
ATX Control Kit takes the place of the computer case power and
reset switches, power and hard disk drive activity lights, and system
warning speaker so that PC hardware can operate totally independent of a
standard computer case.
Non-conductive
materials: The
Tech Station is made of non-electrically conductive, scratch-resistant,
high grade polymers and has tested ESD compliant both in-house and at AMD's labs in Austin TX.
Metal screws and brackets are not exposed in
sensitive areas, the motherboard rests on protective rubber standoffs,
the upper shelf has a non-slip neoprene work mat, and the test bench sits on
non-slip thermoplastic rubber feet. No
worries of frying your hardware like with a metal bench.
Keep
things cool with
Five
120mm fans:
Two
120mm 12v fans positioned on the left side forcing air over Hard Disk
Drive(s)
mounted under the top
shelf. Three 120mm fans are dedicated to cooling heat
sensitive components on the motherboard and all your
double-wide video cards, including 4 Way SLI!
Finger guards are included, but the fan can accommodate another for the side.
Lots
of room to work: With
the motherboard on the top shelf there are no height restrictions for
CPU heatsinks and all the motherboard components can be changed very
easily! The
height between shelves is 7” offering enough room for all your optical
drives, power supply, and even more hard drives if needed. (Taller
vertical supports are available in the Accessories
section)
Customize
your bench:
The materials used are easily machinable with common tools. Great
for water cooling/extreme cooling and overclocking setups. We'll
be glad to help with
customizations!

Assemble your own with our
easy-to-build kit version, or have us build it for you - we'll ship
it to you ready to use right out of the box! Either way you can
finally have a professional grade computer hardware testing station ready
to work for you in no time.
Traditional
alternatives
would include leaving components installed in the computer
case, which is an awkward and cramped environment for accessing hardware,
an ill-fitting frame assembly made of conductive metal, or just having
parts scattered around an open work area which is dangerous because
components are exposed and vulnerable to impact, shorting and
electrostatic discharge. And
how is the motherboard switched on/off without the PC case?
Our
test bench and ATX Control Switches solve all these problems. Now you can easily configure your hardware
exactly how you want it before installing it in your permanent
case! |
