Description:
The PC Extension Station
extends your PC to your desk by providing easy USB access,
neat power management and optional DIY 5.25" or
3.5" device installation for easy frontal access. It
works as a LCD stand by raising it parallel with your
vision comfort level. It is also a keyboard docking
station that will save your valuable limited desktop
space. It holds up to 22.50KG (appr.49.50LBS) with a
dimension 54cm (w) x 24cm (d). The station integrates 5
power outlets (110v) with individual frontal switch
controls and a master control. It offers fuse protection
in case of over voltage or over current. 4 USB outlets
were built in for handy everyday access as well. There is
a drawer in the 5.25" bay you could use as
miscellaneous item storage for memory card, CD or DVD
media and more, or you could install a 5.25" device
in the bay by mounting from the bottom. There is also a
3.5" bay as well for optional device
use.

Now then, I like the design and layout of this Power Station very much.
The "Problem" with it was its construction. Gluing some sections together was a good idea 'except' the glue used was NOT
good enough. I had trouble with the back panel power connectors. I complained to the manufacturer and he sent me two new ones and I
did not have to return the old ones!! Great I thought UNTIL I found that they all had the same problem!! I will have to find some
glue -OR- some screws that will fix the problem. The front panel switches experience the same problem.
I do need to say that it is a nice setup -but- even though it looks good, it seems like it was made in
someone's garage. Because the outlets on the back are not secure, you wouldn't want to plug and uplug into them
very much. Then there is the USB panel on the front. It is to be held in by two screws. One was missing and
the other is really to short and keeps falling out. -But- even with these, I still like it and I think it
is a good base for a tinkerer. A normal person may want to think twice.
I did make one modification to it. I drilled holes and installed to small
screws at the back for my monitor. I was worried about it sliding off. If you look at the Sony Monitors,
and some others that have the fold out stand, they can get jarred or accidentally pushed back and there
is nothing to stop them from crashing to the desk, UNLESS you are close to a wall, -OR- you put in stopper
screws like I did. These were little number 2 screws but they do the Job. JFYI.
