Installation is fairly easy, but the included
install guide can be a bit more detailed and should include more pictures as I originally installed the hard
drive brackets in reverse the first time around.

There's a white plastic AGP/PCI support bracket
and plenty of thumb screws included for easy card installs.

The hard drive rail will support up to two
drives and is located right beneath the top polymer shelf. Its
location will allow the large 120mm fan to cool the drives well during
operation.

But wait? How do you actually power the
system without a case? Well, there are many methods/tricks I personally
use but the TechStation offers the most viable, a simple but clever ATX
Control Kit. This kit consists of a system speaker, power/reset
switches, and hard drive/power LEDs. Simply plug them in the appropriate
pin headers on your motherboard and your good to go. It may look a bit
odd when installed, but this certainly does the trick and they all functioned
properly.

Finally, a shot with all components installed.
You can see how it is just the right size for a standard test setup.
Super easy to get a test system up and running quickly.
