Overclockers Online and Tweaknews have posted a review of the unique all-aluminium Lian Li PC-T60 PitStop test bench.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Overclockers Online:

    "We have seen a few test bench type setups from various manufacturers with mixed results but Lian Li’s Pitstop T60 is pretty well rounded offering. Swapping hardware outside of optical drives is fast and simple thanks to the use of thumbscrews in key areas. Solid aluminum construction makes it both sturdy and lightweight.

    My only real complaint is related to the optional parts. First I would think the optional fan cooler should be standard considering the crowd the T60 is aimed at. These optional items are also difficult to find, at the time of this writing I could not locate them at any online retailers.

    These are really minor complaints because the Pitstop T60 is a solid offering in the test bench arena. While it’s not for everyone, the T60 should satisfy the group of enthusiasts that upgrade a lot of simply love to benchmark."

    "All in all, the Pitstop T60 is a pretty good test bench chassis, and the inclusion of a few minor accessories would make it an excellent product. Getting the thing assembled takes a bit of time, but this is likely a result of Lian Li trying to keep the chassis at a reasonable pricepoint. Speaking of which, the Pitstop T60 is available from several etailers for around $100 US (plan on spending $30 more for a red one.) This makes it cheaper than the Antec Skeleton and right in the ballpark of similar products, but a bit too high for me to consider it a good value, given its limitations related to ease of use. The addition of mobo thumbscrews, some tool-free features and the trestle feature would have sweetened the deal considerably. Nevertheless, it's still a good product with the expected quality of fit and finish we've come to expect from Lian Li, and is perfectly serviceable for its intended purpose."

As a test bench, the PC-T60 really doesn't have as good a design as competing products like the Dimastech Test Bench Table Easy V2.5 and Microcool Banchetto 101.
