I'm an engineer by trade, and I've been working with computers of every variety for the past 20 years. I bought this open bracket chassis in the hopes of having a minimalist bench to test various old components I've collected over the years. I would not purchase this again, as it is a giant headache to assemble.After 2 hours of deciphering Chinese and frustration, this contraption technically works, which warrants 2 stars I suppose. I do not feel remotely safe attaching any computer components to it, as the motherboard itself is held onto the metal chassis by poorly fitted plastic bits that wiggle and flounce all over. This was one of the fiddliest, most annoyingly designed things I've worked with, and in order to get it together properly, I'd need to spend at least another 3-4 hours with it, including additional fabrication of parts that fit more properly together, and likely some glue. Maybe if I spoke Chinese I could make better sense of this, but alas, I do not.I will pass on the additional headache; I would have to entirely disassemble the thing again multiple times, and it's simply not worth it. Now I need to decide if I should bring it into work to recycle for scrap, or just throw the whole thing out.Learn from my mistakes, and spend your money elsewhere.

The media could not be loaded.  The product is good. The problem is the instructions to assembly the case. I spend a few hours to mount the chassis and I had to disassemble one side to screw the mobo pins.As I have read the reviews and assembled some other open cases, I was more prepared and I applied the blue thread lock from loctite 243. This will help you have a more sturdy case.Overall, the case is good. Just terrible instructions

Of course the engineer would spend 2 hours trying to translate a sheet of paper instead of just building it.Let me break it down for you: There are extrusions of different lengths and L brackets that hold them together. Look at the product photo. That's all the instructions you need.If you don't own a screwdriver with a bit that'll fit the tiny hex screws then you probably don't need an atx test bench.When you install the mainboard, put the case and mainboard on its side and loosely insert the top middle screw. Then you support the mainboard from below with one hand as you slide the rails back and forth to align the screw standoffs. EasyThis is my first test bench and I had no problem.

It's sturdy and strong don't get me wrong looks pretty cool handy once it's built but lack of English instructions was not that cool...The build process took WAY longer than it needed too lineing things up without a motherboard/Gpu handy is impossible some kind of template would have been handy, I def wouldn't recommend this to anyone in the future

This thing took hours to assemble, using the included poorly written (in chinese) assembly instructions. Tightening all of the tiny set screws is not fun! It isn't exactly what I'd call 'sturdy' one assembled. The bracket that holds the PSU onto the frame is made of flimsy plastic and allows the PSU to flop around. The PSU bracket also blocked access to the power switch and partially blocked the power plug, I had to modify the bracket to mount the PSU.

Assembly is mostly trial and error until you figure out what pieces do what. The GPU support will only work if you're using absurd standoffs like 30mm, that is to say that it does not fit. If I had planned on mounting it vertical it would not be fit for purpose.

Mine came with a power button and handle on top of the main metal itself. Putting together can be tricky but I had fun. Just be careful with motherboard flex. One thing I really wish there was would be a fan mount of some sort.
