Secret Hidden Treasure:
Been looking for a super-small test bench for my 2ndary work rig and found one sku so ideal but they are always out of stock - worldwide it seems, at least in the more popular colors.
So been in contact with ModMyMods (sole North American distributer) and waiting since January for a shipment to come in and then the pandemic hit and the company Dimastech of Italy had to halt production altogether.
So low and behold I get an email from the owner of ModMyMods this morning and he's like "Hey man, ya know that Dimastech Mini V2.0 in metallic gray you've been waiting for? Umm, yea we found a couple dozen hiding in the back of our warehouse this weekend we didn't know we had, like how about that man."
So frantically placed the order and also grabbed the black thumbscrew kit and the USB 3.0 accessory cable to go along with it. Woohoo, be here in a few days and plan on breaking down the all-gunmetal CaseLabs S8 test bench (not the Batman) and packing it up for the move across county. The Mini V2.0 is so cool the PSU mounts and feeds from the left side (power cable from the left) instead of the rear. Not certain why it's called "Mini" when it mounts ITX, mATX, ATX and EATX mobos easily. Oh ok, the larger Dimastech benches also mount 360mm radiators and the Mini is really for air-cooling only. Although I bet I could mount a 240 AIO or a single 120mm Hardware Labs rad using some CaseLabs L-shaped brackets with no sweat since there are mounting holes all over outside of the Mini's framework.
Anyhoo, with so many "working from home" these test benches will be gone fast, so thought I would let you awesome TPU gents know about it. ModMyMods also found a bunch of black Mini V2.0s, so they currently have both the gray and black in stock.
$129 awesome price - appears to be built rock solid. They won't have any trouble selling them - even the orange and yellow and red ones are SOLD OUT, but I'd rather these cool black and gray benches end up in the hands of TPU members and followers, if I can in any way help it.
Will follow up when mine arrives probably early next week...
...the images are V1.0, the video is V2.0, difference being 2USB ports on the newer version.
Was going to just grab a yellow one and called around my area for prices on chrome plating the test bench, thought that would be cool. Yea, estimates were $450USD for the stripping off the yellow paint and nickel chromium plating, so that idea flew out the window very quickly. lolol I better just wait on the gray painted ones to come back in stock.
