| We were pleasantly surprised by the
quality of the materials used of the product. Despite the size and the
stability,
the Banchetto 101 looks quite nice. The Poly (Mathacrylate sheets) provides a pleasant feel to the touch. The layout is well thought out and implemented, however, we would
have loved see much more stability, especially since most overclockers
will use it with heavy LN2 pots. |

The build quality is on a good level. Overall, the materials used are well made,
espeacialy the screws. The installation process is quick and intuitive,
requires a bit more time due to the size of the bench tablet, but also
does not need a screwdrivers, since everything is tools free.
Cable managment is quite good and three incisions for SATA cables, the 24-pin and 8-pin
PSU cables, as well as two small holes for reset and power button cables, provide much better and cleaner setup.

| Banchetto
101 uses a very special design compared to all other bench tables. Despite the lightness,
the matte black color combined with the chrome finish gives
it an aggressive look. |

| The Banchetto
101 from Microcool is listed on Geizhals.eu
for around €249 excluding shipping costs. The price is slightly higher
than what we would like but it is still in line with other similar products. Microcool's
Banchetto 101 is a nice designed and very functional bench table. |
