Open Benchtable Project by OC TV, HWBOT LLC and Streacom

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2016-05-11

The Open Bench table project is a cooperation between the renown passive enclosure manufacturer Streacom, the enthusiastic streaming media from OverClocking TV and the website that gathers the largest overclocking database worldwide HWBOT.org. The idea is to combine the flexibility of a bench table, yet making it as compact as possible so it can be easily transported and rapidly assembled again on the desired location. Most bench tables lack at least the last two points. Only the Banchetto 101 comes close, needing almost no assembly and being very lightweight for transportation. Yet it is pretty big in size. Hence why the open bench table project might have a few cards upon their sleeves to make it a big success.

Some Bench Setups

While for the initial photo shoot I mounted the Gigabyte Z170S SOC Force and due to the lack of a fourth GPU support only three MSI 5870 Lightning cards. The results can be seen here and believe me it is as straightforward as it can be:

 

  

 

If one opts to remove both white acrylic pieces, one is able to route the power supply and SATA cables through the numerous cutouts for an even cleaner build.

 

 

The fixation of the GPUs is one of the major advantages of a bench table over the quick and dirty setup method I used before. Secondly it makes the entire setup transportable; in fact way easier for competitions where one sometimes has to move from one spot to another. Just pick up and walk away!
