Description:
The HSPC Tech Station (patent pending) is a fast-access computer
case - It’s a hardware workbench that brings PC components within easy reach yet keeping them safe and secure.
The Tech Station makes a perfect work station for computer hobbyists, overclockers, frequent upgraders, IT
Professionals, PC Shops. - For anyone needing frequent and fast access to internal PC components. It has solid
non-conductive construction, tool-less storage for all PC components and lots of great features...
The HSPC 'Top Deck' Tech Station brings the motherboard to
the top bench, thus providing easy access to the motherboard.
Note: This case will be shipped directly from the vendor.
For local customers, please call us to arrange for the best time for pickup.
Features:
• A good home for your hardware:
Based on ATX form factor motherboard specifications providing a full 13x13” of
surface area for total accommodation of all motherboards from micro ATX to large extended ATX (server) motherboards.
The
motherboard is perfectly secure on the upper shelf with a high friction rubberized standoff system that supports the motherboard
1/4" off the bench surface (accommodates CPU cooler back plates and increases air circulation). Nylon guide posts position the
motherboard perfectly on the Tech Station. AGP/PCI cards are securely locked in place with thumbscrews so the motherboard is
safe yet available for hands-on work and is easily removed.
• Hard Drive Storage/Cooling Rail System: Slide the HDD's in/out on smooth non-conductive acrylic
rails. Two standard 3.5" hard drives can be easily inserted, protected and cooled by rails suspended
under the top shelf. One end of the HDD Rails open to catch air from the 120mm cooling fan, a nylon
stopper keeps the drive from making contact with the fan. The
Large model can support an optional second set of HDD Rails to hold a total of four hard drives!
• No loose AGP/PCI add-in cards: The AGP/PCI support brace
solves the problem of loose motherboard add-in cards, loose cards can damage
circuitry. The brace offers universal support for all add-in cards - blocking
no cables or connections, and has some lateral flexibility to make
adding/removing cards easy. Nylon thumb screws twist into the top of the brace
and are positioned at ATX form factor spec locations so the AGP card and six PCI
cards can be locked in place. The support brace can also be removed, flipped
over and turned to support BTX form factor.
• Bottom shelf, load it up: The lower shelf is for stacking the drives and power supply. The kit includes a neoprene mat
to make the entire shelf a non-slip and non-conductive work surface. There is plenty of real estate here to hold optical, extra hard
disks and floppy drives.
• Power the PC On/Off and monitor HDD activity: Plugging directly onto the
motherboard, The ATX Control Kit takes the place of the computer
case power and reset switches, power and hard disk drive activity lights, and
system warning speaker so that PC hardware can operate totally independent of a
standard computer case.
• Non-conductive Materials: The Tech Station is made of non-electrically conductive, scratch-resistant, high grade
polymers. (The bench can hold over 150 lbs!) Metal screws and brackets are not exposed in sensitive areas, the motherboard
rests on protective rubber standoffs, the lower shelf has a non-slip neoprene work mat, and the test bench sits on non-slip
thermoplastic rubber feet. No worries of frying your hardware like with a metal bench.
• Keep things Cool: A 120mm 12v fan positioned on the left side forcing air over heat sensitive components on the
motherboard and the Hard Disk Drive(s) mounted under the top shelf. A finger guard is included but the fan can accommodate
one on both sides
• Lots of Room to Work: With the motherboard on the top shelf there are no height restrictions for CPU heatsinks and all
the motherboard components can be changed very easily! The height between shelves is 7” offering enough room for all your
optical drives, power supply, and even more hard drives if needed.
More Details: Traditional alternatives would include leaving components installed in the computer case, which is an awkward and cramped
environment for accessing hardware, an ill-fitting frame assembly made of conductive metal, or just having parts scattered around
an open work area which is dangerous because components are exposed and vulnerable to impact, shorting and electrostatic
discharge. And how is the motherboard switched on/off without the PC case? Our test bench and ATX Control Switches solve all
these problems. Now you can easily configure your hardware exactly how you want it before installing it in your permanent case!
