buy / build a benchtable

**loopy83** · 02-21-2008, 09:22 AM

Hello,

i am searching for a plan to build such a benchtable.
any exact dimensions?

maybe i can buy one?
anybody has a link for me?

I think there are many advantages with such a table.
no problems with mounting anymore.... easy to use....

kind regards

That's a dimas bench table.

As far as building one, google "navig's DIY benching" he built a pretty sweet one for cheap.

THX for the dimas Link.... looks pretty nice for a conformable price.

Make such a benchtable sense, because the rod inside the pot put more heat inside then necessary???
Or is this fact nsignificant??

kind regards Loopy

If you want to build one for yourself without any extras (but of course you can modify it for your special purposes) have a look in here:
click!
I invented this one and with wood cutted exactly by "Obi"

you will go with ~10€

There are more ideas to improve the version but right now no time because of coming exams for so called "Abitur"

I will try this version of a benchtable..... with an additional frame, to fix the pot.... maybe i am back with pictures in a fewe days

THANKS a lot

I'm curious about your solution. This frame together with a bracket to secure the cards is one of the things im planning to add to my current station (i've built for myself a little smaller one, only for one optical and one hard disk drive).

Really?

Sorry, looked like the dimas hard station to me.

Vigor has been making them for at least 5 years, the one above is an ARC Bed Air. Check out his site. NewBeetle's benches on one, you can see it in most of his threads.

Heres mine (through the ages):

Link doesn't work G H Z,

I will build my own bench table in the summer. It probably wil be similar to Navig his design.

**loopy83** · 02-21-2008, 12:06 PM

My main focus is the frame insteat of a mounting kit for a DI/LN2 Pot.
A threaded bar to press the pot on the mobo....
room for HDDs and PS is just a "nice to have", bute not really necassary in my case

The ARC Bed Air is really hardcore. very nice, very massive, awesome look!!!!

It shouldn't be to hard to transform Sunbeam acrylic cases to a bench table.

Acrylic isn't an ideal material IMO.. it's too prone to scratches & vibration.

That's why i don't use my DD waterbox for a bench station.

It's a good design for one, but the materials aren't ideal IMO. Might work if you re-created it in wood/metal.

Good idea, but not available in germany

There go's my hope. I can't find it in Holland, so i tought i'd search it in Germany

**@rne** · 02-21-2008, 01:35 PM

No way, there are only a few shops which sell sunbeam stuff, predominantly fans and other modding accessoires

**Fujimitsu** · 02-21-2008, 01:39 PM

Top deck tech station is available pretty much anywhere.

man i love to see nice DIY jobs

i really gotta get off my lazy ass and knock up something decent that incorporates a tripple rad waterloop as well

wish i was good at this stuff lol

**K404** · 02-21-2008, 03:59 PM

I wouldnt worry about it Dinos- my DIY skills friggin suck. I was working on a baseplate for a dual-loop watercooling set tonight- measured everything carefully, cut carefully, drilled holes carefully and STILL screwed it up.

everything is just that bit squint

In that pic of my mobo baseplate, all the sprung bolts are in holes that have been opened up a little to allow some movement- Most of them are slightly out-of-line....
