Today we look at a PC chassis from Mircocool that is aimed at the hardware tweaker in all of us. The Banchetto 101 open air modular chassis that not only supports normal PC components but water cooling as well. Open, light and transparent, its innovative structural design enables easy access to all components of the system, and allows rapid substitutions and total real-time monitoring. Join us as we see how easy the Banchetto 101 really is to use.
The hardcore hardware tweakers will say that all you need is the box the motherboard came in. That’s true, but going that route you have parts strung all over a table as well, and lets face it with parts all over the place either there is a fight with the significant other or some hardware meets an untimely end. With a chassis like the Banchetto 101, not only does it look great but it keeps the hardware nice and neat. I really like the Banchetto 101 it makes rapid part changes easy, it is light so moving it around the workbench is a breeze. It does everything Microcool says it’s supposed to and it does it well.

I normally keep it in a different part of my area (away from the door to the main hall) keeps lookie-loo's away. Moved it closer for the ease of being able to tweak something while working on actual work LOL
