Packaging
The Lian Li T1 chassis comes in a deceptively small box, a little smaller than a briefcase with the image of the chassis (if one could call it that) on the outside of the carton. With Lian-Li stamped on the upper left and the words ‘Special Edition’ branded on the lower left. One can wonder how ‘special ‘this special edition really is? Lian Li are known for high quality yet expensive cases that are only made from aluminium and nothing else. The aforementioned company is yet to manufacture a case out of steel; however this is not a bad thing.
The rear of the box also proudly displays the case, looking something thats been birthed from a War of the Worlds set! War of the worlds I hear you ask? Yes the original war of the worlds and not the poor remake of the same film.
Inside shows all the components well protected by the foam padding and it was good to see that each of the parts have been individually wrapped and packed in the box. It is at this point that we were reminded of a young-boys meccano set.
Let us move on to the assembly of the chassis.
