This is B-STOCK of the GamersNexus Volt Modmat. These units have never been sold and are unused; however, we had pulled them aside during our QC process due to various minor defects. Examples of the types of defects are listed below. This is a great way to get what is still a high-quality work surface, but for a significant discount. If the possible defects below aren’t acceptable, our other “A-STOCK” Large Modmats remain available at full price. We are doing this to try and provide a cheaper entry to a Modmat while still maintaining high quality standards and reducing our own waste from the QC process.

The GamersNexus “Volt” Series Modmat is an exceptionally durable PC building anti-static conductive work surface, designed to protect your table and your components while also offering convenient reference materials and diagrams. The “Volt” Modmat is a 4’ x 2’ (1220x610mm) surface, made of a ruggedized, heat-resistant rubberized material that can be used for PC builds, video card tear-downs, water cooling and tube bending projects, and in any environment demanding of a work surface that can take abuse. The Modmat includes a common ground point and anti-static wrist strap, and the “Volt” Series Modmat has 2x 10mm snaps for convenient connection on either side of the mat. The Modmat is not intended for use as a mousing surface or as an active test bench and is most at home as a build surface. The nature of an anti-static conductive mat means that it should be used with components in an off state while building or assembling (isolate components under test from the mat, as it is anti-static conductive).

B-Stock Defect Examples:

Although perfectly usable and still good quality, each mat will have some type of minor issue with it if it ended up in this pile. We have listed a few examples of those below. The point of these is to make a more affordable, accessible Large Modmat at a price we’ve never had so low before. These still are excellent quality overall and a lot of people could make great use of them, but our quality standards are extremely strict, and so they will be listed as “B-Stock.”

Mats don’t necessarily feature each of these, but at least one of them or some similar issue.

• Thickness difference: B-Stock mats are often 1-2mm thinner than our target thickness

• Slight paint / ink defects

• Slight deviation in the target anti-static conductivity surface resistance during our technical testing

• Snap presence: Less than 1% of the B-Stock Modmats have a missing snap for the common ground point; however, we will include at least one snap/stud separately with a screw. You could then poke a hole through the mat anywhere you want and install it

• Some B-Stock mats are cross-folded rather than rolled. In these rare situations, the crease will appear off-center in the middle. It will go away with time and as it is laid flat

B-STOCK MATS STILL HAVE A 7-YEAR WARRANTY. If your B-STOCK Mat has problems beyond what it shipped with, it will be replaced with another B-STOCK Mat.
