Needing a test bench to test various PC components, I turned to various prebuilt solutions that are available to buy and put together.
Unfortunately, as covered in our piece on whether you should buy a test bench platform or build one yourself, this can prove to be very expensive. For a solid test bench, you could spend up to $200, so I took a long hard look around and noticed I still had an old NZXT S340 case collecting dust. My virtual light bulb shone as bright as a sunrise.
My idea was to turn the old case into an open platform, which could then sit on a desk or be raised above my Xbox One to save on surface space. This project led me to invest in a few new tools (some of which were long overdue), so this wasn't completely free. But I didn't go anywhere near some of the price tags I've seen. Here's what I used for this little project:
- Bosch angle grinder.
- B&Q electric-powered drill and screwdriver.
- Various metal filers.
- Metal (and other material) adhesive.
- Eye protection and gloves.
