We tested the tower model; Lenovo also offers desktop and small-form-factor chassis, which might be more desirable for space-crunched cubicles. Like IBM units of yore, the all-black ThinkCentre A52 has a stark, industrial look. The tower, based on a BTX design, measures roughly 17 inches high and 16 inches deep--not exactly compact. On the plus side, it offers ample room for expansion. Pop open the push-button-release side panel, and you'll find three available RAM slots, two PCI slots, and an unused 5.25-inch drive bay. All the bays offer tool-free access, and we found it relatively quick and easy to pop out any drives that might need replacing.
