Lian Li PC-T80 Modular Test Bench Chassis Review

Complete System

Building my test system in this chassis took just ten minutes, easily the fasted build I’ve ever done. It really is as simple as dropping a few things onto the plates and you’re done.

What I do love about this chassis is that I can disconnect the cables from my motherboard, and list out the graphics card, motherboard, CPU cooler and anything else attached to it in one go. I can tinker with the motherboard, then put the whole thing back.

The open back area makes accession connection ports a very simple task. You can buy and optional front panel I/O panel, but with easy access to the motherboard ports, I doubt many people will have a need for one.

Hard drive testing couldn’t be easier, just pop them up top where you can quickly swap out the drives.

The same is true of the bottom 3.5″ drive mount, as the screw on fittings allow you to slide the drive in and out with ease, which a locking screw holds them in place on the chassis.

Overall a very easy chassis to work with, with lots of space for routing cables, extra drives and more.
