Question Technofront HWD Ultimate Acrylic Test Station & Accessories

Anyone see this and the accessories it comes with? Looks cool but I fear it being acrylic and not lasting as long as say aluminum or something.

That looks very nice.

I agree on the plastic, plus out where I live dust is a huge problem. It's bad enough keeping my TJ07 clean inside and the Black Dimas Bench Table.

Yah, the big concern is the stripping of the accrylic screw holes. Easily done.

When I assembled my DD WaterBox I tap threaded all holes first. Pain in the butt to use self tapping screws.

Can't get a really good look... but it almost looks like there are some kind of inserts in the holes that are threaded. My other concern is just like the HSPC it has those support legs and the one in the rear left can get in the way of putting a GPU in the last PCIe slot on some boards. The Banchetto eliminates that problem the way it is set up. But this one is nice too and does have some neat accessories.

Well, I was wrong...it does indeed have inserts. Made a heck of a game rig set-up to boot.
