Benchtable Streacom BC1 V2 black ATX support aluminum

Streacom Benchtable BC1 V2 black ATX support aluminum is an open benchtable platform engineered to hold ATX motherboards and full-size PC components on a stable aluminum frame. Finished in black, the BC1 V2 exposes board connectors, expansion slots and mounting points to simplify assembly, testing and troubleshooting. The open design allows unobstructed airflow and easy cable routing while providing a rigid base for temporarily mounting power supplies, drives and cooling solutions during builds or diagnostics.

Advantages

The aluminum construction ensures a lightweight yet sturdy support that resists bending during component installation and handling. The open-frame layout offers immediate access to rear I/O, expansion cards and headers without the constraints of an enclosed chassis. Its black finish reduces visual reflections and presents components clearly for testing or photography. The benchtable is compatible with standard ATX mounting positions and provides dedicated areas to secure components safely during iterative builds and troubleshooting sessions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Building and assembling ATX desktop systems on an open work surface
• Hardware testing, diagnostics and bench validation of motherboards and add-in cards
• Short-term component staging for photography, reviews or demonstrations
• Educational workshops and hands-on training for PC assembly
• Quick swaps of power supplies, storage and cooling for benchmarking

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum frame with black finish
• Form factor support: ATX motherboard mounting pattern
• Open-frame design for unobstructed access and airflow
• Mounting points for standard expansion cards and power connectors
• Stable platform designed for temporary component installation and testing

How to use

Place the benchtable on a flat, stable work surface and align the ATX motherboard with the mounting points. Secure the motherboard using appropriate standoffs and screws compatible with ATX mounting patterns. Install the power supply and connect necessary power cables, then mount expansion cards and drives as required. Use the open access to route cables neatly and confirm all connectors are seated before powering the system for testing. When finished, power down and safely remove components in reverse order.

Recommendations

Use antistatic precautions during assembly, such as an ESD mat or wrist strap, and avoid placing the benchtable on conductive or uneven surfaces. Ensure power supplies are secured and supported to prevent strain on motherboard connectors during testing. For repeated testing, keep fasteners and standoffs organized to maintain consistent mounting and alignment.
