MSI MEG EM9 open air test bench targets hardware evaluators and benchmarkers. This frame skips enclosure panels entirely for direct component access during frequent swaps. E-ATX boards up to 280 x 305mm fit alongside ATX and Micro-ATX plus Mini-ITX form factors. Rear connector motherboard designs also receive full support for newer layouts.
Taiwan preorders sit at NT$2,590 with shipments expected in late October. No graphics card length or CPU cooler height limits exist due to the open structure. Eight expansion slots accommodate multi-GPU setups while two 2.5-inch SSD mounts handle storage needs. Removable PSU tray accepts power supplies up to 200mm deep for flexible builds.
Adjustable radiator bracket supports 120mm through 420mm sizes plus single 120mm or 140mm fans. Compact cooling loops and massive liquid setups both work within this mounting system. Open design requires users to plan airflow direction and liquid line routing manually. Dust protection and accidental contact prevention remain builder responsibilities without enclosed panels.
A separate control module houses power and reset buttons to avoid front panel harness hassles. Reviewers and system integrators benefit most from repeated board swapping without cable management headaches. Grounding verification matters greatly when testing high-power GPUs or liquid cooling loops safely. Workbench environments suit this accessory better than quiet living room systems.
Back-connect motherboard compatibility reduces visible clutter during testing phases before case integration. Total dimensions measure 358mm wide by 336mm deep and 239mm tall. USD pricing remains unannounced, and availability outside Taiwan lacks confirmation. This specialized tool prioritizes test access over finished case aesthetics for serious builders.
