Lian Li is entering the bench table market with a few different models soon. We reported about the traditionally shaped ones, as well as the Spider PC-T1 just last week, during our stay at CeBIT. The PC-T1 supports system board in the mini-ITX form factor. Lian Li and Case King were kind enough to arrange for a sample right away, thus we are proud to present you the first review of the most unique test bench - ever. The unit we got is almost the final version, with most of the features set in stone. Lian Li did mention that they are looking into fitting a normal 5.25 inch bay intstead of a slim-line drive on the PC-T1.

The Lian Li PC-T1 should sell for around 150 €, but this price - while likely - is not final.

-
* Not really usable as a test bench
* Be prepared to spend some time for assembly - it is unique after all
* If you are a dud at assembling IKEA furniture, read the manual.
* No I/O
* Leg joints are somewhat weak, but Lian Li is improving that for the retail version
