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:

HighSpeed Senfu Tech Station - Key Specifications:
Senfu Tech Station: Manufactured by Senfu International Information Corp
Dimensions: 14"L x 9"H x 7"W
Fully customizable computer working platform
Includes LED's for power, hard drive, power, reset and system speaker

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.
