Lian Li T1 Spider

As expected Lian Lis spider is a beautifully crafted piece of hardware. There are no sharp edges on which you could cut your finger during the assembly. Assembly is a good cue because the spider needs to be built from scratch. All you get is about 20 pieces of aluminium in a very small box. You should really take some time to put the spider up on its legs. In my case it took me about an hour until I had everything the way I wanted it.

In the above picture on the right you can see that the legs can be fixed in different angles. For each leg there are two thumb screws which allow good flexibility. I decided to choose a very steep angle. Like this the spider doesn't need to much space on my desktop. The only thing you need to do therefore is untightening the screws, adjusting the angle and then tighten them again.

On these pictures you can see that Lian Li also thought about some neat features. Yes, true, you can't install a lot of drives. In fact there is space for only one 3.5 inch hard drive and a slim DVD/CD drive. This is also a reason why I chose this "case" for a desktop system. In this case I personally only needed to find some space for an SSD. To do some more or less clean cable routing you find a plastic clamping on the bottom of the motherbaord and drive tray, which does its job quite well.
