I had some extra parts so I decided to put them together for a new test bench build.  

MoBo. AsRock 970 Extreme 3. 

CPU.  AMD Phenom 960

RAM. 8gb of Gskill rip jaws

GPU. Evga 560ti 2gb.

PSU. Corsair CX430

HDD. Toshiba DT01ACA300

Bluray/cd/dvd burner. LG Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 10X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA 12X Super Multi Blue with 3D Playback & M-DISC Support WH12LS39 LightScribe Support,  hahaha it is 2yr old. 

 

Test Bench parts. 

6 ft of 1/4" threaded rod.

12 hex nuts.

16 washers.

4 wing nuts for easy adjustment.

6x8' peg board.

 

The build 

I started with the peg board and cut it to 18" x 9 1/2 ". The rods were cut to 18" and I filed down the ends so they were smooth. Assembly was pretty easy as all I did was thread 8 nuts on the rods at the middle and then pushed them through the 4 corners. I made it 3" high so I could store stuff under it. I put the wing nuts at the bottom of the top board so I can raise and lower it if I need to fit a bigger PSU or an HDD cage. Rubber bands were used to suspend the HDD so it would not be on top of the DVD burner. I am going to add a PCI card support rod on the top so the GPU is not loose.

Such ghetto, much awesome. So going to build one!!!

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Those "extra" parts are better then my actual computer...

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Just some helpful stuff: You're - You are, Your - Your car, They're - They are, Their - Their car, There - Over there.
