Test Build
We used some of our current and most recent test components, including the Gigabyte Z170 G1 Sniper motherboard, the Scythe Kabuto 3 CPU cooler and the Sapphire RX 480 8Gb graphics card. We deliberately do not spend much time cabling though we used all the cable ties in this build due to the fan controller. We didn’t include an optical drive as we don’t use them anymore. This is the build used in the last few chassis reviews which can be found here.

The Lian Li PC-T60A Test Bench is a thing of geeky beauty when completed. This is the single motherboard header set up, we intend to double them up and raise the PCI section and route the cables under. The handle doesn’t interfere with components when installed or even for their removal. There may be a restriction to the height of the CPU cooler though. We test fitted a MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V, which is a much wider card than the Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 480 8Gb graphics card, and it still cleared the top handle.

For us, we are happy for the PC-T60A to join the office party, and as a consumer product, if you are looking for a test bench, an open air system or even parts for a table PC system, it's recommended.
