DimasTech Bench Tables V2.5

[FatAlbert]

that's very if there are holes for extra fans. Holders for fans can be from the dimas v2.5 easy (as you wrote). I was thinking about 4x5.25 space for optical/hdd and it's good idea but there has to be place for at least 1 optical 4xhdd (imo). Will be cheaper.

waiting for new sketches Lunait!

Well, a 4x 5.25" cage would have space for 1 optical and 4 HDDs, since you could use a converter to turn 3x5.25" into 4x3.5". However, such a cage would be about 190mm tall, which I think is a bit too tall. An alternative could be to use Dimastech's 3.5" cage instead (which has space for 4x HDDs), and mount the optical vertically, like this:


(This is a sketch of the case as seen from the front)

This would require construction of a vertical 1x5.25" cage, but that doesn't seem very difficult.

I was thinking about that too but, hmm, did not look good imo. But today's optical easily works in that position so, no probs with it. I was wondering how height table will have. What height you have in your sketches ?

I'll try the vertical 5.25" drive in my next render and see how it looks. The height of the benchtable in my render on page 5 is about 180mm (without case feet and components).

[FatAlbert]

ok

waiting for sketches then.

[Lunait]

Here are some renders of the mini benchtable with the vertical 5.25" cage:
(click on the thumbnails for larger images)

looks good

but I think there should be option for 10 slots as v2.5 easy/hard have

also add to sketches hole for 2x8pin cpu



or something like this (paint moded)

optical, hdd, hdd and after theses hdds another 2 or 3.

Well, if you look at pic #2 in my previous post, you'll notice that there is a hole just beside the 8-pin MB power plug. Also, by "10 slots" I assume you mean PCI slots, which would be nice but the case would need to become bigger for that (to accomodate XL-ATX boards), and then it sort of defeats the purpose of this mini-benchtable since it would be nearly as big as the Easy benchtable by then.

Your solution for the optical, PSU and HDDs is nice, especially since it allows the benchtable to be lower in height, but I don't think a second row of HDDs fit behind the first ones since the case is only 300mm deep. But if you only need 2 HDDs, then your solution works very well.

sorry, didn't notice that. looks nice!

yeah, probably your 100% right.

maybe move another HDDs by 90 degrees ?

or maybe 2xhdd it's good option. hard version doesn't has place for optical and for hdd

Yeah, 2 HDDs could be enough, I think. Then the case could be lowered to just 130mm in height.



Dimas, what do you think? Would this be doable?

[Church]

I wonder if there wouldn't fit 2x3.5 disks and side by side another 2x3.5 disks .. and on top of them DVD? Judging by latest pics summed up clearance from disks till sidewall and till PSU seems similar to disk width.
Another variant: 2 disks vertically, dvd between them and PSU, and 2 disks upon dvd as in current variant.
In both variants there is space upon/below DVD for 4x2.5 disks/SSD?

[FatAlbert]

I like it

and system will be on hdd you can use place for optical as another place for hdd

Well, in the latest variant I don't think a 3.5" HDD will fit on the side of the 2x3.5" cage - it's about 70mm high, and a 3.5" disk is 102 x 147 mm. You could fit a 2.5" SSD on each side of the 3.5" cage, though. Or you could use the 5.25" slot for a third HDD, if you don't need a DVD. Also, the space between the PSU and DVD is tighter than it might look, since you need enough space to attach the PSU support and the 5.25" cage to the bottom of the case as well.

Hey Dimas. I love your bench tables and am considering getting one, but on your website i couldn't figure out how to get a shipping estimate. Any way you could give me a shipping estimate for the easy v2.5, and for the hard v2.5 (separately b/c the overall price of each probably will make my decision for me) to Naperville, IL 60540, USA.

Also, i too am interested to see this mini table.

please send pm for this, thanks or use our contact at website...

Dimas, what do you think? Would this be doable?

hei...sorry for delay, been reading all the last part of thread, i think you can continue it here...that is why i personaly open threads at xs or other forums, to listen to new idea e to users/customers feebacks, to improve step by step all the products...
i think also i no longer need to think about to make things..just have 2 guys like you...to work..

the render looks nice and surely doable, as a middle solution between hard and easy table, lets say a Hard without arch, but with some supports...

just need to sort out, what are the final need, surely PSU, 1 DVD and 4 HD 3,5", and maybe a way to use also 2,5" SSD in the 4HD support...am i right?

about XL-ATX boards, its a huge problem, couse...if you want to make it really tight, it's not possible to use this misurements, i think that from the original Easy, you're about to loss at least 5 cm only...

waiting for some feedback on hardware list

The things I would need are 1 PSU, 1 DVD and 2 HDD, like in this pic:

Standard ATX boards is enough for me (not XL-ATX, that would make the case too big, I think).

Maybe "Dimastech Mini" is a good name for the table?

[FatAlbert]

it is nice that you guys made an agreement

PM'd.

Lunait, sick work so far on the mini. Any way of getting it a tad shorter? For it being a "mini," it still seems a little big, mostly the height. EDIT: Nvm. I just saw your version with 1 dvd and 2 hdd. That is a perfect height and fit it seems.

Thanks Yeah, I think it's as small as it can reasonably be now.

everyone: Is the version with 1 PSU + 1 DVD + 2 HDDs the consensus then?

[Dimas]

let's go for the last one...XL-ATX motherboard are very big..we can think about an adding accessories just for that motherboard, couse making all for XL-ATX is very non sense,
some other suggestions on the build? who prefer round corner or who prefer rect corners on top?

Well, rounded corners look nice, but also means that the case has to be wider. Not by much, though.

In case anyone missed it, my review of v2.5 Easy was posted last week, I'll be reviewing v2.5 Hard soon

Thanks again Andrea, beautiful work my friend

[lkiller123]

Dimas, will there be any possibility for a dual PSU configuration on your bench table?

[BulldogPO]

Round corners are nicer.

[Dimas]

Dimas, will there be any possibility for a dual PSU configuration on your bench table?

there's already compatibility for mount 2 psu on the back, or else one psu on front and one on the back, holes for fix psu support are all around the tray.
the standard tables comes with 1 psu support, up to you if you need another one just ask...
