To keep things more organized I figured I would start a new thread rather than making my other thread get to far off topic..
So due to the words of wisdom finally sinking in from everyone that has shared their opinions and knowledge with me I am thinking about starting to plan a build for a Overclocking Specific rig, and I am starting by looking at various test benches that are available!
The first one that I have come across that I like the looks of and the functionality of (and though I don't see anything specifically saying that it allows water-cooling I have seen mods of this case where people have used water cooling with it.) is this..

Some of the test benches already recommended are listed below with who recommended the bench, The name of the Test Bench, and the link the where the Test bench can be viewed. If you recommend a Test Bench, Please provide the link with where you can view it as well :)
Thank you in advance everyone!
Also if you don't mind please give your reasons for why you like this bench!

One that could also allow the mounting of Radiators / pump / etc.. would also be a huge plus

If you own any case with a removable MB tray that can used in the mean time. That's where I'm at right now and to be honest I'll probably spend the play money I have on other hardware than an actual test bench.

EDIT:When things are slow at work this is how I pass time. This is v1.0 and is not completed yet. Once I get it finalized I'll need to call some CNC shops around here to find out how much it'll be to make it. If the price is right it will become a reality.

I have the same but gray and it's great. Looks simple but everything fits and there are no useless parts or stupid ideas just for the looks. Can use 2x 360mm or 2x280mm rads. Additional parts will let you mount something larger ( all in specs ).
My review is here. If not Dimastech then I would probably still use PSU box ( which has its advantages like takes less space on my desk ;) ).
