Conclusion

General   + -
The PC-T60 belongs to the first series of benchtables Lian Li has brought to the market. Unfortunately you can see this at quiet a few details. Therefore a better looking design doesn't mean that the bench table is more practical. For example the fact that big aircoolers collide with the tables handle bar that really needs to be improved.   - Design  
       
       
Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics   + -
Looking at the PC-T60 Lian Li makes absolutely no exception regarding the manufacturing quality because as usual it is on a sensationally high level. All the edges are deburred and if neccessary folded. Therefore the chances that you cut yourself during the process of building are very close to zero.
Unfortunately as soon as you start looking at the PC-T60's ergonomics you'll recognise that it belongs to Lian Li's first series of benchtables. If we for example look at the assembly: What you get is a lot of bits and pieces and a manual which has a few mistakes in it which you'll notice when you follow it step by step. Almost spiteful is the fact that this benchtables center of gravity is far in the back and only a slight tap can make it fall over. The simple reason for this is that the groundplate is to small. In general a practical idea is the handle bar but also here the PC-T60 has an issue which is that you wont be able to install a big aircooler such as for example a Noctua NH-D14. Doing so will mean that the cooler collides with the handle bar.
Almost every detail of the PC-T60 could be discussed like we did it above. We hope that Lian Li is already working on second revision of this benchtable. If we had a wish we would love to see a Lian Li PC-T60 which is as ergonomic as it is well manufactured. We would also be happy to see features like the possibility to mount every single piece of hardware without the need of screws for example. Things like this would make the PC-T60 outstanding.
  - No sharp edges / corners
- Handle bar
- Distance between mainboard and handle bar
- Center of gravity
- Manual with mistakes
       
Recommendation   + -
If you are looking for a compact and very practical basis for a test station you wont be happy with the Lian Li PC-T60. The only useres we could recommend the PC-T60 to are enthusiasts who wish to have clear visibility to their components. In this case they'd really be able to build quite an exclusive system.   - PC-Enthusiasts




The Lian Li PC-T60 Test Bench can be bought at Digitec to a price of CHF 132.- (est. EUR 94.-).
