I recently watched @Slicks video on the LTT YouTube channel about building your own test bench and I had an old case I don't need so I decided to strip the case down and build my own test bench! It's not the prettiest and yes I used hot glue to attach the legs, but it does what I need and I'm excited to start using it :D

 

If anyone else has built their own test bench/ anything else PC related, I would also love to see what you have built (post in the comments) :)

I wonder if the PSU would sag/droop since it doesn't appear to be supported by anything.

i plan on putting the psu just on the bottom

Oh okay, I wasn't sure if you were planning on putting the PSU where the original PSU slot was.


Also I noticed that HP logo on the side panel. Would the case that you salvaged possibly had been an HP case in its former life?

The HP side panel and the the other sheets of metal came from the same case

So basically, yes. The case you salvaged was from an HP case.
