Lian Li Pitstop T7 Mini-ITX Test Bench
Conclusion |
In conclusion, I would have to say that the Lian Li Pitstop T7 mini ITX test bench is a fine example of Lian Li’s dedication to fine craftsmanship. Although one could use the T7 as an open air chassis for every day use, the T7 is geared more for just what it is a mini ITX test bench. If you are one of the many hardware reviewers out there then it will make a fine addition to your line up up test setups.
I really did not find too much about the Lian Li T7 that I had issue with. I suppose my main gripes would be that the optional accessories offered for the T7 are just that “optional”. Personally I would rather pay a tad more up front and have everything available for a test bench on hand to start with, instead of having to search all over the net for them. Plus I am quite certain that the initial price of the T7 if all parts were included from the start would cost considerably less than buying the parts separate. As for any gripe about the T7’s functional capacity, I would have to say the only thing that sticks out is that the 150mm (6 inches) distance between the motherboard and the carry handle is too short. If for some reason you wish to test a Mini ITX with one of the huge cpu heat-sinks with120mm fans then you may find clearance an issue. As I stated earlier build quality is second to none on the Lian Li T7, and it more than lives up to the high standards Lian Li is known for. If you want a rock solid mini ITX test bench with killer looks at a very decent price, then the Lian Li Pitstop T7 Mini ITX Test Bench is for you. |

Cons
|
Build quality 2nd to none. Light weight. Easy assembly. Heat reduction due to open air. Quick and easy access to all components. Uses standard pus, drives etc. Option for Multi media I/O Option for 120mm/140mm fan. Price |
Optional accessories (fan and multi media I/O)really should be included. Only 150mm (6″) between Motherboard and handle. |
