Lian Li Pitstop PC-T60A Open Air Test Bench Review

Some of the fit and finish details we have been talking about below. The buttons are slightly loose in their mountings, but only to the touch. On the underside of the motherboard tray everything is clean and tidy. The metal screw tapping grommets are very well done, clean and secure on the underside. The motherboard tray can look a little scary due to the number and position of the screw holes, but after a couple of parts are fitted, it becomes clearer.

The rear of the front panel buttons is enclosed, so you won’t see any exposed cables or sharp edges.

Assembled Shots

We are not going to go through every step of construction, though if you have any questions or are stuck, please leave a comment below.  The PSU mount has a couple of rubber strips to dampen any fan vibration from the PSU. The instructions ask you to install the PSU during the construction of the chassis and not after, though you can do either. 

The frontal sections are for the 5.25″ drive bays, though we didn’t install any. The 2.5″ bays are at the rear, and they are a little hard to access. They are also a little too close to the back lip of the motherboard tray. We could still install a 2.5″ SSD in the top mount, but would have preferred it at the front.

The images speak for themselves, the Lian Li PC-T60A is a good-looking chassis, and still manages to be a bit unusual looking. The handle also serves as a supporting brace though the chassis can be used without it, it’s rigid enough. There are a lot of screws that hold this together, as expected, but a lot of the components are held together by thumbscrews for easy removal and disassembly. The cut out holes in at the front of the motherboard tray are for an optional IO panel.
