buy / build a benchtable

[Fujimitsu]

Nice BND. Simple but it works.

I'm working on a 5.25 and a 3.5 bay right now, hopefully I can find the time to cut the wood and make one of these... would be very helpful as opposed to the phone book/mobo box.

@ Arne
What is that compartment between top of your bench station and the lower deck for?

Floppy / optical drive / external harddrive - stuff like that

[Fr3akyPete]

@Arne

Makes sense!

[Fr3akyPete]

I really like yours, Arne!
Will build it probably in the next 2 weeks.
(But I have to fit in 4 HDDs and one optical drive.)

Hold down for a POT I believe.

Here is my DIY simple job. It works great and offers complete stability for whichever cooling I desire. I just swap between air, water, phase and my DI/LN2 pot in minutes using pretty much the same equipment. It keeps the motherboard solid and doens't bend it with providing a lot of pressure for the mount.

Sweet lookin table!
Where u get those "knubs"?

[BlueAqua]

I bought them from McMaster Carr and they're called knurled nuts I believe. They're brass and actually kind of expensive, sold by 50 a box.

And in box is how many?

[BlueAqua]

50 in a box, minimum purchase

[ownage]

Yes but what did you pay for a box of 50?

[BlueAqua]

It was a year ago now but just searching McMaster Carr I think these are the ones:

Part number 92741A110

They are $8.63 per Pack of 25.

This is a nice worklog on a DIY testing station (1st and 2nd pics). If nothing else, it is a good place to get ideas.

By the way, those knurled nuts are also available at places like Lowes and ACE Hardware, or similar stores. They sell for about $.35 per piece, if you are not in the market for a box of them.

Edit:
Another functional DIY (3rd - 5th pics).

A bis disadvantage is.... just compatible for one kind of board...

One advantage is... just drill a few new holes, compatible with every board. Just four new holes takes but a few minutes and you're in business, just switch the mounting rods around.
