    [Worklog] Initial thoughts on my OpenBenchTable - #47

    in OBT / BC1 Discussion

    Posted

    @WhiteWulfe as @CAxVIPER mentioned, some people order actually more than 2 in some cases (mostly friends grouping shipping to reduce costs). + Some tables where already reserved for Giveaways (prizes for the ROG Showdown for example etc.) So this is why the order # does not sync with the table serial number.

     

    Regarding the scratch. It's truly a pity. Please send me your other pictures and I'll see what we can do there.

    Thanks!

    Unboxing/quick overview and first thoughts of OBT

    Hi @CAxVIPER

     

    Thanks for your unboxing and feedback. All Feedback on the table is very welcome :)

    Regarding some of your points:

     

    - format wise, you should have all the holes on your table for ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ATX, Mini ITX

    (larger boards will probably fit if based on ATX, but they will probably be a little off the table in width).Which is why on the product specifications we wrote it was compatible - just not the nicest)

    -Moving the table with the PSU attached is do-able, but indeed not recommended. Some PSUs can be very heavy and it would over multiple moves add some load on the legs / leg mounting.

     

    Regarding the logo, I'm glad you are bringing it up. We've debated the idea of logo / no logo on the table internally. We ended up choosing the most "discrete" approach as we wanted the table to be in sync with our design idea of "simplicity". The design of the table is it's own logo in other words :)

    1. Varies from the country we send to. Either Fedex or DHL.

    2. Currently there aren't sold separately. But that's something we actually are also thinking about. Our biggest concern the logistics of it :P

    But if you want to combine screws to your order, we can look into doing that. (Sort of on a case by case basis - still need to figure if we have stock / can ship in time with your order or separate) Simply shoot me an message via email ( xyala@overclocking-tv.com ) with your order reference number.

    3. Plan is to release these before the end of September. Admittedly we've spent lots of time on arranging production and delivery, so we din't yet prepare all we wanted for it. But! Will try to make this in time :)

    What about AIO CLC's such as Corsair's H110/115 series, which are 280mm?

     

    Would have to be tested to see how the brackets spacing could be fitted there. It would be a similar situation I presume than for the 360mm case.

     

    @Mr.Horse

     

    It's pretty stable really. We designed it so that it can take a system with CPU and GPU pots.

    The screw goes through the table from the top, into the legs.

     

    We are using a strong grade of Aluminum specifically for the case of making the table more solid and durable.

    It's not that thick. 8mm isn't much. But the reason of this thickness is mostly to have a sufficiently strong legs. Since the legs are cut from the table (we use CNC manufacturing process for the cutting), 8mm was the best compromise.

    If we would have done it thinner, the legs would not be so strong, and with very heavy systems, you could eventually have some bending issues over time.

     

    The mate silver-ish finish right now is done via anodizing. If there are to be colors (which isn't in the planning right now) it would be most likely the same process. Painting always ends up wearing off over time and usage.

    It should support it, yes. Let me check with the team if we can shoot some pictures of a 360mm in action :)

     

    Technically speaking the spacing is to support a 240mm rad at max. The table being exactly 360mm long it will be tough.

    But! There should be a way, by not mounting it using the two most outwards screws, but for example using one that is at around the 240mm mark (which should be the second fan i presume).

     

    To test I would have to get my hands on a 360mm AiO - but we don't' have one here at the office.

    GAMERS ASSEMBLY 2016: Who's going?

    in HWBOT World Tour

    Posted · Edited by Xyala

    Thanks Guys for attending the event. I've been quite busy and might not have been able to sit down for a chat with everyone, but that's just a good excuse to come back next year!

     

    Thanks to everyone who gave a hand in the organization, the competition (our LN2 refill masters), the workshops (all the FFOC members) and of course everyone else attending and overclocking. Hope you had a good time, let us know how the event went for you and we will work on expanding again next year!

     

    Bit thanks to Pepino from MSI and MSI for being the Epic Sponsor of this event. Hope you liked the new format of the MOA as it is integrated with the World Series. Thanks Seasonic for continuously supporting all of the World Tour events around the World. And Thanks to Klevv for supporting this European event! Without sponsors, such large scale OC event (Competition, Workshop and Gathering would simply not be possible)

     

    For those who want the pictures, they are all uploaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-LvzkRobcqaVEFNQjlrR2hoZHc

     

    You can also see them and share them on facebook :

     

    Thanks to OCTV all the replays of the matches are here:

     

    And for those who are interested in the Open Benchtable, we are considering selling the prototypes from the event (specially engraved) - please register on the http://openbenchtable.com website.

     

    Thanks!
