New Bench Station

Bookmark and Share




Hi all,
After seeing the Antec Skeleton and the HSPC bench station i had planned to make my own DIY station. Googling a bit i found Navig's design from ocforums and it looked very simple and practical, not to mention easy to make
So after nearly one month, plenty of moolah spent on new tools and paint smudged hands its finally ready :hap2:

Material used was 20mm plywood, 1.5" square aluminium pipe, 1.5"/20mm aluminium angle, ss self tapping screws

The beginning, cutting the 20mm ply




First brief assembly, just to check everything was ok




20mm M3 standoff's



custom made control panel in alu angle. Push-to-On buttons for Power On and Reset, 10mm bigass leds, blue for Power and green for HDD, 2 USB ports



primer coats for the wood and the metal parts




first coat of paint (total three coats), paint used was satin finish dulux




final assembly






pcw fan controller, 12w per channel, good enough for 2 x 120mm high cfm fans per channel. this will be upgraded later to a better quality Sunbeam





psu mount



dvdrw mount rails



in action






i case badges



hdd cage can accommodate 6 drives



another two USB ports on the left side



current test config on this station is -
Core i7 920/ Xeon W3570
Gigabyte EX58 UD3R, EVGA Classified X58 E760
Crucial/A-Data DDR3
3 x 500GB, 320GB, 160 Seagate Sata HDD's and a single 80GB IDE hdd

Pay me? I'd love to put one of these bad boys together but the only thing I lack is utility and justification.
