Default HSPC Tech Station

AntiM has a new review up on a SWEET tech station from the folks at www.HighSpeedPC.com . These are the same tech stations I used to build the internal skeleton for the recent Corsair IDF cube project. This particular package features an updated an improved version of the tech station.


Check it out here.

Nice job AntiM

I enjoyed that product read. That really looks like something that can be used for your PC storage while you mod or paint your real case. Although I don't see myself using that as a stand alone case, I can see using it as a starter like what Gk did or like I said for some temporary storage thats funcional.

The color choices are key IMO. If you did ever start a project geting the paint from the start to work well with the frame is something most overlook that really adds that final touch.

For 80 dollars without shipping and any other parts it adds up I guess. But then again its all for fun anyways really...not like I need 80 percent of my PC stuff.

Yeah, that is rather cool of Highspeed PC.
As always an informative and amusing review... and a perfect 10 "to boot". Nicely done!

Now if they would just come out with one, where the area over the CPU is "open aired" and I could get H2O or a phase hose to the CPU, they'd be the hit, IMO...
Great write up Anti...Thankz for the read...~Z

Although I'm no phase change enthusiast zenno I was thinking exactly the same thing, would it be posible to cut a hole in the roof of the unit?

There is always room for modding dood.

Nice write up AntiM. I think one of those would do nicely on my bench.

Very possible. I used these stations as the skeleton for my Cosair IDF mod and had to use a 120mm hole saw to make a fan hole in it. Was pretty easy to do.

The stuff shouldn't be much harder than wood to work with, it reminds me of the stuff they make cutting boards out of. It drills easy and doesn't melt like plexi. I don't think getting a water block on it would be a problem as is, it's as tall as most cases are wide. But High Speed also sells longer support posts in their accessories section. That would give you 3 more inches of clearance or 10 inches total.

You could always reverse the shelves and put the mobo on top, but you'd lose pci/agp support. I'm sure you can bend it to your will Zenn.

It has a lot of features that the Senfu doesn't, except that the Senfu places the mobo on top. That is invaluable for reviews. I may take a crack at building my own when I have some free time in a few years.

Just ordered one of these in blue, and utilized the coupon for $8.00 off! Can't wait to get it in, and get it set up.
