Lian Li PC-T1R Spider Case

[ComradeSader]

the replicators attack!

That's exactly what I thought, I could imagine chucking a system in that then watch it start to crawl around..

And maybe because I'm rather tired my arguments make more sense in my head than they do in reality.

Your arguments make perfect sense, to me at least lol. It's exactly that, why compare this to regular cases when it's obviously not designed to BE a regular case.

Nice review, epic looking case imo.

if there is an option to dress it up like the megabot from SupCom, I'm so on it

Well thats my point, really. You can't compare something designed to be practical to something that is designed purely to look good.
Subaru Forester - A jeep solely designed to drive around in a forest and not get stuck.
Any supercar - Designed to turn heads and look good in your driveway.

You'd never compare those two directly. But both are cars, aren't they.

Ah well anyway, I have my opinion, and you have yours

And maybe because I'm rather tired my arguments make more sense in my head than they do in reality.

Well having the four categories I mentioned will help with that eh.

The spider would get 10 for aesthetics!

But not so much for usability etc.

That way all reviews are clear and based on same system : ]

Great review, I think it should be noted in nearly every review that Manuals are completely OPTIONAL these days. Nearly everything is intuitive(nothing against you DS), especially a unique computer chassis. Most people that buy a case know how it works and what to expect/look for. It does take some common sense though.

the replicators attack! thanks for the review.

Robot Spiders eh, anyone remember Runaway? A little Tom Sellick flick about a crazy guy(Gene Simmons) who used robot-like spiders to kill his victims by injecting them with acid and then blowing up:

Fixed +1 though.

Replicators are from the Stargate franchise they are the equivalent to the Borg. they are made up from nanites, they do nothing but consume technology and breed.

So it's cool maybe for demo displays but otherwise it pretty much defeats the purpose of mITX. I may have missed it but what are the actual dimensions once assembled?

 

[pr0n Inspector]

It's... unique? uh, whatever.

 

[EnglishLion]

I won't be buying one but it's certainly the best Spider shaped PC case that I've ever seen!

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

Did you read the conclusion?

Show me one other company which is willing to create such a product. Sure, it is no test bench, sure it may not be cheap, but it is truly unique. And that is what will sell it. Sure, not in big volume, but for those who want just what the T1 delivers, a spider as an ITX chassis. For those, no other product out there compares or will do.

That deserves something, right?

No, it doesn't deserve "something", being unique isn't exactly a great thing, like well the ford pinto was unique, and different from any other car, and we all know how that turned out.





They actually expect people to pay for this crap! More over they want like 200 dollars for this steaming pile of fail?!?

I could understand this if it fit a useful form factor like m-atx, but mini ITX . .. . .. pure concentrated fail from Lian Li.

I hope all of you bashing this case don't have a window in your case, lights, or anything custom done to your computer.

Just a plain, beige box.

Because you wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, afterall. (Oh wait, the days of actually modding things yourself are gone )

I think its pretty cool. Not everything is supposed to be useful, afterall. The picture in the corner on the page was enough to effectively catch my eye and read the review

I think I would rather buy an old mac on ebay and do this:

Would hardly make people hypocrites for having a practical box that is also nice looking.

This thing is nice looking, and not to much else.

Its footprint is way to big for a start, you couldn't even take it to a lan as it would take up to much desk space

If they made this in ATX or mATX, I'd actually consider one for an gaming/HTPC.
