Photos and Features

So unlike most of our case reviews, I don’t really have to take a look at the outside and inside of the Wetbench, it is open air and leaves almost everything out in the open to be seen. So it follows a testbench format but with a few big differences. For starters, the top of the case has a very distinctive angle to it. This gives you easier access to the motherboard and video card on top but in my opinion, think it is mostly an aesthetic thing. Having everything tilted gives you view of all of the sexy parts. This is big for vendors at trade shows, for youtube content creators, and even for someone like me who wants to take photos of components on the test bench. Those looking to do extreme overclocking will have to keep in mind the angle also means you can’t fill up your pots as much though.

The top panel has support for up to E-ATX sized motherboards all the way down to ITX as well. The four vertical cutouts are for cable management. The one on the right is for all motherboard sizes and the three on the left are for ATX, mATX, and ITX in that order. The small horizontal cutout is for ITX boards then the two long horizontal cutouts are for larger mATX, ATX, and eATX depending on the width. There is a huge cutout under the CPU for access to the back of your board for installing backplates. You can get to it with the top installed on the Wetbench but pulling it off is also an option. All of the cutouts and slots have the accent color visible. You can pick from a whole list of popular colors for accents, I just went with orange. You can also get the entire case in white or black as well. I should also point out that all of the white components are all metal and powder coated. I have to mention that because originally I actually thought they just used white or black acrylic, being all metal with just the acrylic for accents makes a big difference in the strength of the construction and let me tell you, this thing is solid once together.

Both sides of the Wetbench have a few things going on. Like the top, they have the honeycomb cutouts for style. There is one main cutout on each side where the middle frame connects, this area is also for picking up the case with finger grip cutouts in it. There are then four T-shaped cuts in the bottom left. The documentation doesn’t really run through what each hole and cut can be used for but the T-shaped holes are for mounting a DDC pump. Then the holes up higher are for Primochill reservoirs and they are drilled for a vertical mount or one that is angled with the back of the case. Both sides of the case have these same mounts so you can do two loops or pick the side you want to use.

The back of the case is mostly covered by the large removable panel that holds your radiator. It supports 120mm to 360mm radiators when they are mounted on the inside and you can jump up to a 140mm or a dual 140mm (280mm) radiator as well but on the outside. That panel comes off and gives you access to the inside of the case and underside of the motherboard. The power supply mount is mounted from the inside using two brackets. One has the standard screw holes, you can face it towards the front of the case or the back as I have it here. You then adjust the second PSU bracket down to the length of your PSU to hold the front as well for better support. You can slide this forward and back with its long mounting slots and you can pick both sides of the case as well. Then the mounts to the left have some flexibility as well. You can mount them for 5.25, 3.5 or 2.5 mounting options. This gives you the option to run dual bay reservoirs if you want or you can use this to mount your hard drives or SSDs. You should run the mounts flipped backward from my photo below though. All three configurations have a little forward and back room to be moved and then both sides of the bottom have three large holes for wires or tubing to work with any configuration.
