DIY Pc Test Bench, Open Chassis Case Rack for EATX/ATX/M-ATX/ITX Motherboards, Widely Body Heat Dissipation Design Open Air Pc Case, SSD Motherboards Accessories

The media could not be loaded. It's very simple, very sturdy, comes with everything, including standoffs. Mine is the EATX version because my Asus ROG Crosshair VIIII Extreme motherboard required the extra large size for the South bridge heatsink and NVMe DIMM2. But this thing holds it down perfectly. There are tapped mounting holes everywhere, and in fact, on the edge of the bottom frame, are 4 perfectly spaced mounting holes for my 240mm radiator. Everything I was seeing from the rack mount vendors was at least $200, and trying to find an EATX server case that's less than 4U was seemingly impossible. This allowed me to fit my desktop with RTX3090 GPU and AIO watercooler, in an inch less than 4U space, which leaves me for room for my fans and drawers, etc. It even provided me a pretty neat second option for setting in my GPU. Mounted horizontal above the second PCIe slot, which I use a short riser cable for anyway. I'm not sure if I'll keep it that way, or if I'll go back to my gangsta lean 45 degree mount... But I think the bearings in the GPU fans will last longer horizontally mounted.

Excellent product, but finding room to mount drives might be a challenge. Still it is suitable for a 4090 card which does not fit into most cases. Oh, the screw holes tend to be clogged with paint. I used a tap to clear them, but you can probably get them to work anyway. Used to build an unusual back-to front lab computer. Recommend a more complete test bench for most uses, iff you can afford to do so.

I've had the idea to try and mount my PC on the wall with the ports facing down for a while and couldn't resist trying it. This case was perfect for my use case and the price is hard to beat. The sheet metal is thin and super heavy duty but its more than strong enough for what I'm doing. I didn't have any problems with any of the threads stripping out or anything.Note, the case does not come with wall hanging hardware, you'll have to be crafty and modify it yourself if you want to do that.

So yeah, the main take-away for this (currently) $34 product is that it works. It isn't fancy. It isn't smooth. It isn't pretty. It's a hunk of metal with a bunch of screw holes and some cut-outs. But it just flat out works as an open air test chassis. It does its job sufficiently.That being said, the quality of some of the screw holes is atrocious. Nowhere near fine machine screw quality, and in no way matching the precision of the screws that come with the thing. Especially the most important screw holes of all: the motherboard standoff holes! I had to REALLY torque down on some of those stand-off screws with full strength and literally just force them through the metal. Meaning that they're probably stripped and damaged and not reusable, but they ARE in the metal place and they ARE holding my motherboard well, so that's at least a plus.

It's not pretty or fancy but it gets the job done for the right price. I was able to quickly setup a pc test setup. Not much else to say, no real issues, does what is says.

Nice work test bench…..works as advertised

I use this as a bench case for MB setup and troubleshooting. It fits a EATX board so it's perfect for my needs.

It's solid. I'm using this to build a custom case for my new PC. The holes drilled for the motherboard screws were difficult to screw in straight but once you get the threads started they work well enough. Not a bad deal for the price.
