MODTHEBOX would like to thank Scott from HighSpeed PC
for sending the Senfu Tech Station for review.
Introduction:
Assembling a computer system piece by piece can be a daunting task, especially if you wish to test your system components
before the installation process begins. Untested equipment can be a nighmare if a component fails and needs to be replaced
or upgraded. Senfu International Information Corp based out of Tapei, Taiwan has been marketing a product overseas which
has been in the North American market for the last few years. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the Senfu
Tech Station, a product that simplifies the process of testing system components using a portable workstation.
Specifications:
The Senfu Tech Station has been marketed overseas under the name of Overclocking DIY House. The name change was necessary
for the North American audience to indentify with the product and make it more marketable. The product includes all the
components for installation and comes un-assembled. Users will be required to have a pair of pliers and a standard
adjustable wrench available to complete the installation. Here are some of the specifications taken directly from the
HighSpeed PC website:

The packing on the outside of the box was not in English, but thankfully the one page reference sheet included in
the package had a English translation. The instructions consist of 5 steps and includes reference diagrams on how
to put the Senfu Tech Station together. It is recommended that you have two sets of tools available to simplify
the process as I will demonstrate in this review.
