DIY'ing my Dream Vintage Test Bench

After a few weeks of work I've built the perfect test bench for me to test vintage PC gear! There was a LOT of trial and error in constructing this. There aren't many test bench cases out there that give you access to the parts while also providing bays for putting 5.25" and 3.5" drives. As far as I could find, it's actually none. So I set out to build one myself. Starting with an existing basic open frame kit gave me all the specially parts for computer components. I used this as a base to expand with additional parts to fit the goal I had. I decided to just order parts and figure it out as I go, it worked well as a process, but it did take a long time. A closer look at the new AT PSU:    • A New AT PSU Disassembly and Review   If you want to build one of these and support the channel you can use the following links to get all parts needed to from the following Affiliate links for Ebay and Amazon, for which I may be compensated: Amazon Parts: Base ATX Frame Kit: https://amzn.to/2P669Om 300mm Rails (2x order, 4x total parts): https://amzn.to/3vD6Lfa Extra L Brackets: https://amzn.to/30Xg2AM 5.25" Mounting Bay: https://amzn.to/3luatmB (Out of stock as of creating list) 3.5" Mounting Brackets: https://amzn.to/3vBZQ5T M3 Bolt Kit: https://amzn.to/3s2Ntxw AT PSU: https://amzn.to/2QbdYmo Paddle Switch: Not available on Amazon or ATX to AT Adapter: https://amzn.to/319vOZv Ebay Parts: Base ATX Frame Kit: https://ebay.us/RPR9kc 300mm Rails: https://ebay.us/vvNZoZ Extra L Brackets: https://ebay.us/FftwsD 5.25" Mounting Bay: https://ebay.us/Vkw9nW 3.5" Mounting Brackets: https://ebay.us/2EUFPI M3 Bolt Kit: https://ebay.us/qLz7dp AT PSU: https://ebay.us/YBAwj9 Paddle Switch: https://ebay.us/Ps3bxd or ATX to AT Adapter: https://ebay.us/7J4q2h Notes: I only used 10x of the L brackets, that's cutting it too close for my liking and I recommend ordering 20x in case some are bad. The large paddle switch is likely going to become unavailble, and mounting the original AT push button switch was really difficult to figure out. The ATX kit comes with a way mount a push button power switch, using that with an ATX PSU adapted to AT. So a more sure option for a power switch is to just use that. The Phanteks 5.25" bay is an option for a modular case. The case seems to be still in production as of this publication, but the bay is out of stock. I have no other strong alternatives. It is meant to mount with standard M3 PC case bolts and is threaded. Mounting it was tricky, I used some motherboard standoff brackets from the frame kit and used M3 bolts to mount it up against the frame, it's not elegant.
