KitGuru reviewed the original Montech Sky Two back in January 2023 and we liked it, a lot. This updated GX version has been tweaked in a number of areas but maintains the same low price and gains a good amount of mesh for high airflow. Read more here: bit.ly/4aWdu8i

They are getting such a good rep. Brilliant company really

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Thanks for your views

@CFI963 21 день назад

Awesome case ! It’s so impressive that they actually listened to users feedback and improve on their product. Sky Two GX the budget king indeed, plus it looks so good 🎉

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Totally agree!

@thetechdevil-jn1vo 21 день назад

Good they listen to people. Others don’t seem to. Lian li aren’t bad though

@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp 19 дней назад

Yeah they seemed clued into the comments in the community.

@MartinHughes-MH99 21 день назад

Excellent analysis of the case! It's awesome to see Montech stepping up with upgrades that are both superior and more affordable! It's almost unbelievable, but here we are witnessing it!

@RainbowSunset-uq2hs 21 день назад

Brands like Corsair could take note !

@thetechdevil-jn1vo 21 день назад

Good value in 2024 ? Surely not ! 😅

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

Its pretty rare, we agree!

@hardware_freak_on_a_leash 21 день назад

Really neat. Frankly, Montech is killing it right now. Right up there with Thermalright. Best bang for buck.

@larwiemcdonnel5322 21 день назад

Well done for listening to us montech 🎉🎉

@Morganchang 21 день назад

Montech never disappoints.

@iamahappybunny7640 21 день назад

Agree

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

You bought a case from them before ?

@Paradaz2990 21 день назад

Love Leo, straight to the point and brilliantly sarcastic. Great sense of humour

@sortingoutthebills-dy6td 20 дней назад

lol he can be 😂

@user-uv8qn1br8q 20 дней назад

Well done montech for listening to customers and making changes. I suggested a few of these myself in video comments. So it’s great to think they might have read them ! 😊

@iamahappybunny7640 21 день назад

What a great case. Watched this twice now. I like how they haven’t even cut corners on the cable colors.

@Itsameamario-ns3se 21 день назад

Hey great review Leo. Nice to get a full review up on this baby

@RainbowSunset-uq2hs 21 день назад

first proper analysis on RU-vid. Been waiting for this one thanks Leo 👍🏻

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Glad you liked it!

@jacke.mcneill272 19 дней назад

Really like that fan selection youve got there looks lovely.

@zingwilder9989 14 дней назад

Thank you, kindly. That was an excellent review on a truly superb case!

@Maxverstappenracing-dz3pt 20 дней назад

Montech seem to know what the audience want. Very clued into the community.

@andreiloghin 20 дней назад

Thats the right attitude when you want to build market share, awareness, etc. I can think of other brands how did the same when they were on the growing trend...but after that... Look at OnePlus now vs then.

@vickywang1498 18 дней назад

Just in love with this pc case! Would like to get one soon!!!!

@NoahLife97 19 дней назад

Well done Leo. Great presentation and review on the new case.

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

Thank you kindly

@stickyfingers9710 19 дней назад

Great review of a great case 😉

@bobsmithson8592 21 день назад

Hey Leo great review. Saw a few other videos on this on RU-vid which were pointless. Thanks for the data. 👍🏻

@amdforlife5591 21 день назад

Oh yes I agree. It’s cool to wear a beanie however. So art students tell me.

@NelsonChen81 21 день назад

This case looks damn good!

@lovingthehardwarethisyea-py1xp 21 день назад

Great breakdown. Best value case I’ve seen.

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

We agree it’s a hard one to beat at the modest asking price.

@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox 20 дней назад

Great coverage on the case. Really well priced

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

Thanks

@paalosordoni7932 21 день назад

Great review, with all the attention to detail Montech took with the white matching accessories they give you black cables for some reason.

@philipjfry628 21 день назад

Not the most exciting case but it does get the job done for not very much money.

@digitalplayland 20 дней назад

Amazing. Cheers!

@orimu836 19 дней назад

Man, I should've just waited. Just got my Air 903, 3 days ago. But I don't regret buying it, Its a fantastic case especially for the price.

@inlovewithmycar7085 21 день назад

Awesome very impressed with the work in this. And the matching screws and cables. Corsair take note !

@andrewd.costello8219 19 дней назад

Very impressive at the spead at which the reviewer was able to break this case down.

@fairycat 21 день назад

Thanks. Nice review.

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Thanks for watching!

@owow6523 19 дней назад

The RGB makes the case look way more expensive than it really is. Nicely done.

@chico_fiesta 20 дней назад

I have been waiting for this case , i will hopefully build this year. Dont know why but i feel Kitguru does best case reviews and im stoked Leo gave it 9/10.

@KitGuruTech 19 дней назад

Thanks for the kind words

@philipjfry628 21 день назад

Really nice array of cooling fans there.

@dreschaffhausen5693 21 день назад

Yeah they make it look way fancier than it is.

@joemarconi8375 20 дней назад

Nice to see a case with a real world price tag instead of the Ive just won the lottery and now Im going to show off to my mates.

@andreiloghin 20 дней назад

Great review Leo. Having bought recently a Lancool 216, i notice how very similar the Sky Two GX is to it, except the 3 front fans where the Lancool 216 has 2x160. Its good to see other manufacturers catching up and even beating the old dogs.

@KitGuruTech 19 дней назад

Good choice!

@sortingoutthebills-dy6td 19 дней назад

Lancool 216 is a great case.

@Linusfikfaps-ez2qg 19 дней назад

Really impressed with this chassis for the money. The improvements really improve the overall product.

@KitGuruTech 19 дней назад

Thanks for sharing your views

@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz 19 дней назад

Good job montech 🤘🏻

@canarychrome7012 21 день назад

Awesome case. Nice improvements over the original which was no slouch

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Agreed!

@CamilaSacasa 20 дней назад

good one Leo!

@KitGuruTech 19 дней назад

Thanks!

@shredman59 21 день назад

Like it. I agree with you. I think they should've included a rear fan with matching ARGB profile and maybe put some noise dampening foam on the back panel.

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Thanks for sharing your views 👍🏻

@seriouslyfunnyhumorblogspotjy 18 дней назад

Thats a nice cooler.

@mariec.vannest5701 19 дней назад

I want one.

@rufusmctavish1164 20 дней назад

When the case was stripped and the case was twisted I was pleasantly surprised with the rigidity of the structure. Especially at this price point.

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

It’s well made for the price.

@johnerikson2443 21 день назад

great price that considering

@psix130 20 дней назад

I think we need to see the deep cool Morpheus

@sortingoutthebills-dy6td 20 дней назад

Montech showing everyone else how to release a budget chassis 😮

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

It’s one of the best.

@taomahNEGEV 20 дней назад

In black it even looks good but a 140 back fan and a front magnetic air filter would have been welcome.

@rickgear2579 21 день назад

I like the black case and am debating whether to switch from my NZXT H7 Flow to this. Should I Leo? I have a thick Arctic radiator installed in the top.

@lanab.salazar8340 19 дней назад

Still trying to work out how they manage em waves with glass panel sides.

@markbayhon 20 дней назад

Reminds me of Lian Li Lancool 216 :)

@GraceMcClain 20 дней назад

They seem to have taken some very detailed notes from the Lian Li Lancool III, particularly with the attention to detail regarding things like the thumbscrews all being shiny steel. I find the front cover design something of an odd choice, however. Why make it two pieces instead of just one, surely that would be cheaper. Gotta say though, Montech really do seem to be making a concerted effort to be better. EDIT: Just noticed that the odd "Wing" protrusions that run from top to bottom on either side of the front panel really do like a direct copy of the functional mechanical side panel locks on the Lian Li Lancool III.

@justindavis7600 21 день назад

Some noise dampening foam and this would be even better

@boltsandbraces6261 19 дней назад

I like the white version. Well worth the extra tenner over the black.

@KitGuruTech 19 дней назад

Thanks for sharing your views

@luvoverthewall 10 дней назад

As many other's have already mentioned, it is very similar to lian li lancool 216/II/III mesh.. But since you guys have had hands-on experience with those as well, how would you compare the build quality? Is montech better or worse than lian li?

@jasonhenninger8220 21 день назад

Leo keeping it real and looking out for us cheap bastards.

@KitGuruTech 21 день назад

Always 😉

@Krimicu-ci6cn 19 дней назад

Wow that graphics card just about gets in there.

@SammyBae-un9ni 20 дней назад

The size of GPUs nowadays is just scary.

@geofftatesmate7748 21 день назад

I like the black version of this better

@Googul1986 20 дней назад

It doesn't look Bad,,OK 👍

@MDShakilKhan-cs8bs 17 дней назад

For the same price Lancool 216 is superior case in my opinion. 75 for the black and 80 for the white would be a good price.

@jamesj.shehan6572 19 дней назад

Why cant case manufacturers finally sort out cable management by making cables on the back of motherboards a universal thing? Thats a nice cooler.

@jagman84 20 дней назад

Do they do a version that doesn't resemble a Christmas tree? Or can you switch off the RGB show?

@KitGuruTech 20 дней назад

The only RGB in the case (rather than the Phanteks cooler and motherboard) is in the three fans at the front. You could simply leave the ARGB unplugged or set the software to Off. Leo

@anonymous4gent 21 день назад

ooo . . a mini/cheaper lancool iii

@lusemenefee3527 20 дней назад

Really like this in white not a fan of black as its just too dull.

@harleylover9446 20 дней назад

What’s the closest competitor to this chassis ?

@taomahNEGEV 20 дней назад

Phanteks XT Pro/Ultra, Endorfy Arx 500 Air, Chieftec APEX AIR and Montech Air 903 Max.

@KnightRider-lq5yb 21 день назад

Why is the white version more expensive. Is this common ?

@festerleech4952 21 день назад

Could be a volume of sales thing.

@shrekislove1509 19 дней назад

I don't get why they couldn't have increased the price by $5 snd thrown in a rear fan even a non-RGB one. I know you can get your own fan, but it's always cheaper for a manufacturer to add one themselves.

@dreschaffhausen5693 21 день назад

I generally dont think spending loads on a case is worth it. Better to saye the money for the really decent components inside.
