As far as functionality goes, it does the job, but does have some drawbacks. Firstly, as a test bench you cannot use a full size graphics card, which unless you are just testing CPUs and motherboards with integrated graphics, you really won't have any use for it. Secondly, it is quite large for a mini-ITX chassis. It will be hard to find desk space to place it on especially with monitors, keyboards and other stuff on the desk. The biggest downfall I experienced is the wobbly legs that can give way if too much weight is on it. With just the components I had installed for the review, some of the legs were giving way and no matter how much I tightened the thumb screws, they would still slip.
