In looking at it again. It looks good, but I agree definitely that aluminum would be better. Still light weight, but more importantly, simple to mod. $30 worth of parts gets you a power drill a bit and a tap and die. On sale of course, and not a drill that you will end up having long if you do anything around the house.

Actually there is no need to mod it at all... everything has a metal pre-threaded insert that fits directly into the pre drilled holes, and if you wanted to mod it as I did, you can drill right into the plexy with cracking it.

And why would you want an aluminum tech bech?? If i want aluminum I would have bough a normal case not a plexy one

Glad you like it, many others agree, which is why there are so many plastic test stations to choose from. I prefer something a little more controllable. (I have not had much luck in working with plastic/acrylic/plexiglass)
