DIYPC Alpha-GT3 Black Acrylic and Aluminum ATX Bench Case Bench Computer Case for ATX/Micro ATX motherboard – PC components not included

it is a good product but the picture guide is poorly done and the newegg video was incomplete.make sure you take all the paper off before start, it really is black, shiny on one side and matt finish on the other.when putting the drive trays together for the hdd and ssd. screw the ssd/hdd to the plate. you can screw the slotted trays in with the opening towards the front.you don't need standoffs unless you are putting a cd/dvd/blue ray in one of the bays.when you put the power supply in place a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the right side turn the power supply sideways and the power cord to the bottom.I decided to use it instead of a case. I can change out graphics cards, ssds, and ram without unscrewing panels. i used the msi b150 m3 gaming mobo with 1151 socket/i5-6600k 3.5ghz/oc to 4.1, 16gb skill ripjaw ddr4-2133 ram, zotac gtx1060x6gb gpu@1880ghz and a deepcool captain 240 liquid cooler for the cpu. 2 Toshiba ssds, and a evga 750 gold power supply.

I bought this case and am currently rethinking my life. I want to die rn if anyone knows a good therapist in the midwest please let me know.

The idea is ingenious. I don't like dealing with acrylic without a grounding wire running through all the components. Pay exact attention to the instructions as far as placement of slots. On my model, there were some surfaces with matte finish, some with gloss. I would prefer that they be one or the other, not both. The way the high part of the stand (where the expansion cards go) is attached is unnecessarily fragile and complex. They could have run a threaded rod from the main body upright through a hole in the second level through a grommet and to the upright holding the expansion card riser. Simpler and sturdier. I look forward to much good use.

Instructions are crap!Quality is ok, but the plastic is cheap acrylic plastic so it'll shatter and crack easily if not careful. You can only use the nuts and bolts that comes with the bench as all other standard hardware from most other cases do not fit or work on this bench. This is a PITA if you accidently lose some nuts or bolts as you can't replace them. The bottom vertical plastic brackets that are for the PSU and hard drives are just slotted and sandwiched in between the base and top board so there's a lot of play with them as they're not bolted down in any way.The hardware such as all the nuts and bolts are really cheap metal too. They don't even stick to my magnetic plate at all. DO NOT try to over tighten the phillips head bolts as you will most likely strip the head or crack the plastic it's being driven into.In short, it's quite a pain to assemble.

Exactly what I needed. Easy to setup even if the instructions could be better.

This is a neat little kit...

A very good compact test bench for anyone! No complaints here!

Although this has some nice features it is a bit overpriced for what it does. With the hardware included which is totally wrong to mount most items and please do not use the screws they provide for your hard drive that mounts underneath because they are too long and never tighten up and are of the wrong thread. The screws provided for the PC guy mounting are entirely too long as well and do not close enough to secure the PCI cards. The instructions are absolutely terrible and it requires some pretty good knowledge on how to get it properly set up. The worst thing though is the lack of any kind of proper instructions.
