Hi All,

 

I am contemplating of using a test bench as my daily driver, replacing my NZXT Manta.  I live in a place where dust is everywhere.  I'd like to get your opinion or if there''s someone out there that has the same setup please post your opinion.

 

Thanks!

If I were going to do a daily as a bench system I would do one with a tempered glass side like the thermaltake core p3 or the raijintek paean.  That way stray fingers or objects wouldnt accidently end up in the system.

absolutely fine, unless you have a dusty environment then a case is a better shield.

i rolled with a bench for 3yrs before eventually getting into a chassis that i was satisfied with.
