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

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.

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.

I love this test bench. Ordered one a few months ago and it's turned out to be one of the best purchases I've ever made as far as PC stuff goes.

What's also super cool about this bench is the community that's behind it. Already there are a bunch of things 3d printable for the bench! Like there's a freaking wall mount adapter! Thanks for sharing!

So cool to see well designed stuff like this, all the thought put into the construction is sick! Even if I don't have a use for something like that, still love watching videos like this!

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.

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. FANTASTIC engineering! I'm getting one despite the fact I'll rarely use it 😂🤩

A piece of mechanical engineering genius! 👍👍👍 Kudos to the designers of OBT test rig!

I watched this entire video even though I will never have a need for this. By the way, Your lighting and studio look fantastic. Great job.

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.

Seriously cool! Love it, the engineering and though behind the design/build is phenomenal!

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.

having nicely machined parts, things go together soooo smooth. i love it

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!!!

I have been looking for a new test bench and these look great, already ordered 6 of them for my class, Thanks Jay!!

An episode just on all the different screws and standoffs would be very helpful. Came across a few builds where people use the wrong screws for the motherboards, SSD trays, etc.

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!

Really very well engineered and thought out. Even at 250 or so that's really NOT so bad for machined aluminum plus all the custom cut fittings and crews, the push pin MB standoffs are SUPER NICE. That is a fantastic open air case / test bench. Really sweet Jay good call on this one!

Those open test benches are fantastic. I have one of the itx ones mad have had a lot of fun mounting watercolling stuff to it

I like this mounting system, I used an acrylic backplate to mount my motherboard in a custom desk build that I made and this would be pretty convenient for working on it.

Aaaaand ordered. This is perfect. Doing a direct die build and was fretting on testing everything. This will be great for before and after testing to

This is for sure the nicest test bench I've ever seen. Had I a need for a test bench, this is the one I'd get. It just looks so nice and seems really well thought out.

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.

I’ve got two of these mainly for playing with older hardware, they are excellent. I love how easy it is to take off a board and get straight on with another build in seconds.

I have had one of these for 3+ years they are brilliant, light and strong the best part is when packed away they take up no room.

Designed initially for XOC and I have traveled with this OBT bench for meets and a comp before. So yes: it definitely can be traveled with or backpacked easily. Very handy.

Literally all I use, love the V2 because of the upgraded threads and the fact that you can use it vertically (standard or upside down) or you can mount them to the wall

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.

This test bench is super cool!

Kudos to the engineers of the openbench table. Incredibly well thought out, they appear to be persons that have used test benches before. Really impressed with the storage solutions they arrived at so that builders always have the parts they need at hand rather than having to dig through boxes or drawers to find extra parts.

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 :)

Very satisfying to see how well engineered it is. Nice, neat, organized, and clean looking.

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.

Cool test bench! Has me thinking about getting one to use as a base to flat mount my pc on the wall.

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!

It's kind of funny that Jay has not used OBT before. Most of the big TechTubers (like LTT, GN, etc) have used them for a long time. I even have a couple of OBTs myself. They are really nice.

That is one of the best engineered pieces of metal I have ever seen. The thought that went into that bench is awesome.

That's so well thought out, I bet the designer was someone that had to build and disassemble open bench systems alot & just hated what they could buy and use. Sat down and found a fix for all most all the gripes they had with existing open bench test rigs. Will be seeing you use them for extreme overclocking videos

Love the design and engineering on this... extremely well thought out.

I have been building with this Test bench since it was released & I love it. They also sell a replacement screw Kit. I got that too.

What an intuitive and beautiful product. Love it.

HWbot has played a big role in this, exellent hardware and just perfect for open benching!!

The lock in standoffs do seem pretty handy. Probably the most interesting feature of the test bed.

Cool test benches. Glad to see actual motherboards fitted. Now please do the same with the pc cases "preview/overview/reviews": fit boards, GPUs and rad even it's a mock fit

Awesome looking bench. With the right matching components and cable management, it'd make a cool looking non test bench system.

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LIKE THESE!!!!!!!!! I Just might have to get one! LOVE the fact on how all the screws and everything have their own place/spot!

This is such a cool product. I wish i had a use for a test bench now

Awesome Jay. I honestly cant think of anyone id trust more to review a test bench. Very vintage J2C. Which is a high compliment.

very cool content and test benches. ty jay and team

Very simple assembly and very handy, easy manage test bench, great video!!

I was looking for MB tray for my custom build in which I am building the case as well, I can see it viable to use this in my build! Thanks Jay.

I bought the Open Bench Mini ITX one when it launched, and I freaking love it.

This is a really neat design. Thanks for doing the review of this!

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!

Can’t wait to use this on an office PC

Those are absolutely amazing. Pricey for my use case, but beautiful craftsmanship and ingenuity none the less. Very, Very Cool.

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._

Man this is great for computer building, especially like testing builds before putting it into a case. Great for any techie thats often testing and building old/new pc's

Very nice design, simple but effective. Super quick to deploy, and easy to store genius!

There is a huge amount of testing and planning that goes into things like this and i can see why not a lot of companies would want to do it, but i do wish more did this, rather then give us a thick box of parts that are held in by foam that will get thrown out and a baggy of screws that will inevitably get lost.

Those motherboard pins look perfectly tuned, holds the motherboard up vertically but easily pops off when you want it to that looks nice

These are excellent. Ingenious design. Kudos to the engineering and design teams.

pressure fit standoffs is the term you were looking for my friend. this is one of the coolest "cases" i've ever seen, thank you for showing this off.

Was just looking for a bench, this video came in at the perfect time! I guess I’ll look no further 😊

Man, I love that bench. Hmm, ideas are blooming. Great vid, thanks.

Those test benches are amazing, can't wait to try one.

the corsair shift would work perfect as it does have all the plugs on the side versus on the end but as stated in one of your resent videos it doesnt have the smart pci plug for the 40 series cards

I wanna know where I can get a similar lazy susan for my very large Corsair 1000d to make easier to rotate.

Those "cases" are really cool. Love everything is attached to it

I can see why someone like in your position, who is going to be testing many different PC components throughout the day, would love a convenient time saver like this. Personally I don't need it ,but it's still cool to know that someone thought this thing up and made it a reality.

I saw somewhere a side mount accessories cable Power Supply. That would be a huge improvement to this build.

I bought a 7900xtx red devil and have absolutely loved it. First build too

Have had one for ages.. best open case there is.. and when not needed flat packs away..

Great set up thanks jay😊

Very cool. Thanks Jay - and crew!

Looks like a well engineered piece of fun, whoever did the design deserves a reward, well thought of and designed/made imo

You can also install water pump at the button. It looks with a complete water cooler build on this obt

OBT test bench one of the best in the market. I use it as desktop setup.

For those of us that have a remarkable ability to lose screws and other small bits. They do also have replacement parts on the website.

For a mobile tech, this is a good design for portability. I'll definitely save up some money to get one of these in the future.

I have a red BC1v1 with matching red ballistix. Beautiful match. 280 and 360 rads on.

I was wondering if i could replace the standoffs in a ATX case with the pushpin standoffs? i think they may be a bit too tall but the idea that given some work or if they come out with that as another SKU how many people would buy it besides me as we've seen it holds is secure enough and it's just so easy that i find myself wanting them for my next build.

I had a thought about this previously. A kind of flat-pack PC case idea. Then I got an icey shivver up my spine over the possibilities of Ikea getting interested. Some things are best left alone.

Lots of thought, purpose and innovation engineered into that, pretty cool~!

I've had mine for a couple of years and I love it!

Jay bought the new OBT version 2.0 which has new holes for vertical mounting of the bench without any additional tools needed. I have a previous OBT design that does not have this option and I hope that Jay will try this mounting alternative.

That is a really awesome piece of kit! I still use the motherboard box to bench test systems. 🤣 At least my motherboard box didn't cost $200?

That click and relase of the motherboard was terrific. Nice product

Just finished watching the whole video...great stuff!

I have 1, I love mine! best test bench ever used!!

Add this to the list of things I don't need but want. I flip used pcs and this would be great for testing parts outside the case, but the motherboard box works just fine

I noticed that my outlet voltage from the wall varies a lot here in Los Angeles so I bought a UPS. When the power goes out (which it does during the summer) I plenty have time to shut down my system and It also gives me a read out of the voltage from the wall and the wattage I'm using. I'm thinking about buying another one, do you think you could make a video about UPS units ?

I love the way that the bench works and looks can you use that for your PC what are the pros and cons?

I have one of those for my test bench, I like that I can swap out the board with ease. Seeing I don't have a lot of room I use mine for multiple boards AMD and Intel plus different generations. Even at the price of $199.99 it's worth it.

I haven't been able to find any iCUE-enabled power supply in years, Jay. I have a RM850i that I love, but I also needed to replace it (I went with the NZXT E850 instead. Anything above 1000 watts is overkill for me right now). If you could reach out to your contacts at Corsair and nudge them into putting some of these power supplies back in production/circulation, that would be amazing.

This is a cool piece of kit n very nicely made.

there are cpu coolers that make it so its not hanging over the RAM. like the AK620, just put one fan in middle and one on back, or just only have one in the middle and then you have access to everything still.

The engineering behind these shows that they were designed by someone that actually has some experience with building. We need more like this.

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
