Seeing anything that is well engineered just makes happy. Thanks for bringing this happiness Jay.

@@av3ng3r-49 Yep. Pricey but worth it.

[@mikeford963]

Hey Jay, just a small correction. Those 6/32" screws are not 6/32". They are #6-32. As in a number 6 screw diameter with 32 threads per inch. A 6/32" is 3/16", which is quite a bit bigger.

[@trevorjones104]

Pedantic as heck, but yeah! Thanks! Sorta one of those little things, that annoy the few that know how the various thread standards work! Jay's a good guy though, so really, if that's all we can complain about.... :)

I saw a demo of one of these a few years ago which prompted me to buy it. Any time I have a new build or are helping out a friend it comes along. Just amazing and worth every penny.

[@dewjustin]

When you say you use it for new builds, do you use this to quickly throw it together to test out all components before building it neatly in your new case? If so, makes a lot of sense and I may buy one for this purpose myself.

[@toddward3855]

@@dewjustin yep, I get nervous when it’s other people’s hardware so I won’t do the box method or the lay it on a gamer’s nexus mat, I’ll pop this out of the box and ina few minutes have a safe test rig. This thing is great and easy to put together and take apart.

[@aj0413_]

@@dewjustin that’s what I just ordered one for. I’m doing a direct die build with contact frame for new build and really need a way to do before and after with each mod and let me mess with mounting pressure and/or quickly pivot to a more normal cooling solution if it doesn’t work. I was gonna do the box thing (didn’t want another thing taking closet space) but this seems perfect

[@Dantestoussaint]

They're awesome. I used the mini itx version as a portable case for ages. The small amount of setting up compared to the safety of carrying things in a hard case is a great trade off. I machined a hole in my bench for a power button.

[@TeddieBean]

This is so so SO well designed and thought out. The fact it comes with a (felt?) carry pouch is amazing too if you are say, travelling to a friend/customers location and want to throw up the components onto it for testing before doing the full build.

[@WreckDiver99]

Can't lie...that is a sweet test bench. Honestly? That would make a pretty cool 'case' base for a custom made case. It is pretty slick. Well thought out, well engineered.

[@jamieknight326]

I have one of these and love it. I mounted my 360 AIO in the middle using the two middle gaps and the little mounts going directly upright and connecting to the brackets of the middle fan. Wish I could post a photo to demonstrate. It looks great and works really nicely! Fantastic bits of kit!

[@kasper_429]

Upload a photo to Imgur or somewhere similar, then post the link here. Not quite like posting a direct pic, but it still works lol.

[@gusakn]

Do not have this rig, but watching the video, spotted these two middle gaps, quite obvious they would accommodate two standoffs going to middle fan on a 360 radiator.

[@stang10189]

Those are really cool. The way they machine them out of one piece of aluminum and that they store all the spare hardware is very intuitive. I do see some things they can improve on. For example, the aio mounting. They could make the bars a little longer and have multiple holes so u can center the rad. Also, it would be nice if u could mount the rad to the right side. They would have to allow space to pass the 24 pin, but aesthetically, it would look better. I have on of the praxis wetbenchs.

[@sandspar]

As a machinist in my youth who had to build his own wheel to race NASCAR on a Hawaii sever in the 90's, facepalm for not seeing this design that was right there available to me. Of course we had RF considerations hence the legacy spread spectrum settings. My brain is about to explode from your channel, may have to just go away. BEST!

[@Helifax19]

Wow.. Now I really want one! I have lots of parts hanging around from my old PCs (hardly sell them) and THIS! might just be the thing I need to quickly setup some "Retro"-gaming PCs (10-20 years ago hardware). Your video just gave me a marvelous idea! Kudos!!!

[@crzyces1693]

I love that bench. That's a dream CAD project. What a fantastic job. Normally I'd say _"$200 bucks? That's a little bit much for $25 worth of Aluminum."_ but in this *case* it is a little different. For the style, for the engineering, and the simplicity of the entire design, yeah, I'd say it is more than worth the money. With the right rig that really turns into a work of art.

[@brinksectionz]

[@Movingfrag]

I have one of the older versions of this bench for my hardware validation station for couple of years already and it is awesome. Rock solid and so easy to reconfigure. One minus - because it is an older model it does not have a cutout for the power button so i had to put it on double sided tape but that works so i'm fine with it. Also - i don't know about your version but mine has 4 screw holes on both of the short sides to mount radiators/fans of different sizes so you can move the mount points for smaller rad.

[@jgorres]

Get 2 more. One for AM4, and one for 14th gen when it comes out (new socket). Even if you don't need 4 benches all the time, they store so easily, you might as well have an extra one just in case!

[@Ambivadox]

With how pretty it is you could just mount it on the wall above the other benches.

[@Lumindeas]

I like how you have it on that Lazy Susan for easy access 360 degrees around. Wonder if OBT sees this if they'll come out with one as an accessory so you can screw it down for stability. Very nice Jay! Thanks for the tour :)

[@balesjo]

Kudos to the engineers of the openbench table. Incredibly well thought out, they appear to be persons that have used test benches before.

Jay: long time fan here. I wanted to reach out to request that you avoid “click baiting” your titles and provide titles that reflect some sort of hint as to what one will encounter inside a video. “This is he of the most impressive…”, “I was wrong”, etc., are just clickbait intended for us to have to see the video in order to find out what it may be about, only to find out later it may have been about something I was not interested in at all. You are a super power in the streaming industry, I don’t think you guys need these type of marketing gimmicks. Please, let us know at least a hint of what may be inside a video, and we still probably would watch 90% of your videos. Don’t just try to “lure” us with cryptic names to force viewership commitment. Big thanks for all the info you put out there!

[@mike_827]

I bought a red one a while back to make a minimal wall-mounted build with a MO-RA 420 on the other side of the same internal house wall, with watercooling passed through the wall. It was a gamble because I've never done something like that before but it turned out great and the OBT made a beautiful and minimal wall mounting solution. I know that's not what it's designed for, but it really worked well.

Pro-tip, if you're going to screw down the motherboard, mount the powersupply with the fan facing down and as much gap as possible between the intake and the table, this way a dropped screw has no chance of getting lost in the PSU, if you dont screw down the motherboard you dont have to worry about it and mounting the PSU fan side up is just easier

This would have been awesome two weeks ago. I built my nephew a PC for Christmas, two weeks later it stopped outputting video. We, in the last 6 months, moved about 6 hours away, so couldn't quickly stop in and troubleshoot. I suspected the motherboard was the issue but to be sure I took my "stream" PC on a 6 hour road trip, so I could troubleshoot and replace parts as needed. Connected his GPU to my stream PC. Working. My GPU in his. Nope. decided to just replace the motherboard, gave him my old board I just took out of my gaming PC when upgrading and everything booted up right up. Traveling with something like this would have been less stressful than taking my built O11 Mini. :) I did pull my GPU out of an abundance of caution but I would happily put everything back into their boxes to transport and troubleshoot :).

I've got mine with a 360/45mm rad with a 240/45 mm above it. I also added a couple of extra struts of aluminum to make the radiator mounting more secure (using 4 anchor points rather than just 2 to the base plate) so, no wobble. The opposite end has an EK 140 EVO D5 pump/res using a 2nd pair of Open Benchtable radiator mounts. I also added a Corsair Commander Pro mounted to the underside of the main plate along with a Silverstone PF04 8-port PWM hub. _I noticed from yours that they've changed the rubber scratch/slip protectors on the bottom of the legs (mine is a few years old)... mine has pop-in rubber pieces where the newer is a mounted strip. Should be better as mine have popped out a couple of times._
