Specs:
Specs change every other day ;)

I was getting tired of stuff lying everywhere when reviewing products, so I decided to build my own tech station. <br /><br />Total cost is about $35 for the metal frame. The motherboard tray is salvaged from an old ATX case @ the electronics dump. The Plexi sheet on top is removable for easier access to the PSU cables.

it cools good enough for no-overclocking and is very quiet.

its big weight make it easy to "install" .. just put it on top of cpu without screwing down :)

I voted 2/10 because:

Test stations don't count. There used for temporary troubleshooting methods and not for 24/7 use.
