This case has a funny name but awesome design choices! Montech Sky Two 

Glasses Jay is best Jay

I got the Montech DT24 Metal Premium cooler for my recent 13600k build. SUPER SICK cooler. Works great and I didn't even have to use both fans to get 75C @ 180w

Kinda dig the blue, I've always thought cool colors were nicer than white - like the Fractal Pop Air varieties. Also good on them for the ARGB/PWM splitter included at the sub-100 price. Actually considering a transplant to this case now. I like it more than my Cougar MX-330-G Air.

i find computers so interesting. i love watching shit like this even though im not even in the market to buy a computer case. i get just as excited about innovations with computer cases, cpu coolers, etc. as i do with gpus, and cpus. this still interests me even though this case didnt do anything different. you get my point. everything about computers peaks my interest.

Really like Montech. Using Montech Air X myself. Nice case, and a great build quality for your buck.

I'm digging that color! That's a nice case at a decent price. Montech is now a possibility for my next build.

I rather have the fan at the bottom because air rise and is the coldest from the bottom changing as it goes up. Only my preference though. Love the motherboard side intake fans

hey man, those glasses suit you, might have to get a frame like that.

Looks gorgeous!

I got dust caps with a DIYPC Cuboid case

i like white Case, because RGB is more bright and beautiful.

My Kolink PC case came with dust caps.

BIOS Speaker! YES. I still use one. is it uncommon today? I feel old

Ayup Jay, just purchased this case, I went with the Black Edition. Jay what's name of the Phillips Head Screwdriver you were using in this video. Loving the content brother. I hope your gonna make a build video using this case.

1:40 TIL Jay is blue-yellow colorblind??? How has he been doing all the monitor reviews and stuff without telling us this?

evga DG-87 comes with dust caps...

I've been doing a lot of Montech builds lately. Their old cases were sorta junk but you can tell with each new case they learn from their mistakes, and they keep getting better. For the price it's really hard to beat the quality you get now.

I'm really digging the fact that all those features, including a non-standard color & top panel plug/caps, are included in a fully sub-100 dollar price tag. THIS is what I'm talking about! I can really get behind this case for my next build.

Have to admit, have only ever owned black cases. Actually like the look of the blue and what comes with this case for the price. It is for sure an option on a budget. Great review and thank you Montech for providing Jay with the cases, so we could see them. You are now on my radar for a new case.

That is actually an interesting case. I like the blue, and the case seems pretty thoughtfully designed. Equipping it with a full suite of fans is nice, as if it's a new build (or builder) you don't need to worry about mismatched fans or having to buy extras. The flipped fans is also a nice touch.The accessories pack is nice. If they made a mesh version of this in blue, I'd be tempted to use this for a new build. But i'm just not into the whole tempered glass thing.

I like the new smarter Jay look, new spectacles. Awesome. Not a bad color on the PC case. 👍

Love that Jay is sponsored by Micro Center they are genuinely an amazing store and there is almost always someone to help you with what you need to find.

Montech makes some interesting cases, good to see their quality improving.

I love the fact that you find these unheard of brands and do videos about their products showcasing things. I love looking for new things and sometimes the biggest and baddest brands out there aren't necessarily great bang for the buck. Definitely will check these out if I build a new pc again. PS: The Glasses really suit you, looks good on you.

Montech has been improving dramatically over the years. I'm even feeling tempted to buy one of their cases if they ever get imported to my country (buying them online is simply way too expensive even for the cheapest of cases due to the weight factor)

So speaking of those little LCD panels as sensor panels, I am about to finish up a 3D printed design for mounting one to the rear of a Lian Li O11! If anyone is interested in the files for it, I will be posting them to Thingiverse hopefully tomorrow! :) Will probably title it "5 inch Display mount for Lian Li O11 Dynamic", also working on adapting it to standard 120mm fan mount. Small edit: Just ordered the threaded inserts and screws for testing, won't be delivered until next week and I don't feel comfortable posting the design if I can't verify it works 100%. So will be posting by next Friday (1/20/2023) if all goes well! EDIT: I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!!! School caught up with me plus one of my prints failed so I lost motivation for a bit but the project is on Thingiverse :) Just search " 5" Display mount for Lian Li O11 Dynamic " and you will find it.

This case seems really decent for the price point. I'd love to see Jay finish a build using it.

I bought my own silicon IO dust caps years ago, pretty awesome though to see them included with the case, Bloody well done Montech! I hope this brand comes to Australia at some stage.

Montech has been in the game for a minute. Their cases have been low budget but they have been getting better throughout the years. This case seems like an average builder case. I would love to see Jay max this case out with some high end parts, for fun lol. Also love the glasses!

That is a lot of case for $93. The reverse fans, the hub, the color, its really feature rich for that price point. impressive.

MONTECH is the brand who often get overlooked, but their cases and coolers are really good. I appreciate you review their products !

Too bad the reverse fans got a facelift. NOW THEY DON"T MATCH THE NORMAL FLOW FANS AND LOOK OUT OF PLACE! BOOO!!! Grey blades?? what were they thinking- oh yeah- not thinking!

id love to see you fully mod this case. painting the grills and stuff, throwing in a little screen or two. i think its a cool littler case.

I just built in their Sky One for a Christmas gift and found it a great case, particularly for the price, which is even lower than this one. I liked it so much that now I'm building in the Sky Two. A blue one like in the review. A couple of things that Jay didn't mention which builders should be aware of. Depending on your mb's layout, cable fitment can be TIGHT. A USB 3.0 header that fires straight out the bottom is gonna be a problem. EPS cable up top with an AIO may cause issues. You wanna put a rad where the side intake fans are, you ain't fitting that monster GPU in there. (There's a reason that the ones shipped out for review also seem to have included the same air cooler for the reviewer to use.) A Sky Two 2.0 with juuuuuust a little more room all around would be a Hall of Fame case at this price point. Don't get me wrong, this is still a great case. You just have to be aware of its limitations when planning your build.

Neat case! I'd go with Fractal Design Meshify 2 though, best on the market. Ok maybe not THE best, but top SS tier case. ;)

I'm liking that more manufacturers are coming back with color options. Reminds me of BitFenix cases that had color galore

This case makes so much sense. I love the idea of the HDD being screwed in. How often do you actually swap your HDD? The ventilation and fan layout looks amazing.

I'd LOVE to see more companies make fans like this. Nothing worse than having to put the pretty side down.

I'm more in the niche of the niche market so this wouldnt be for me, i like having mass storage so 2 HDD cages is not enough even though that has become the standard 😑 Still use 5.25 bays for physical drives and just for holding nick-knacks like a multimedia panel. All in all i just care less about being able to see into the pc and more how the pc functions and talks to different media.

I’d love to see a build off series where everyone has the same case and major part but it’s up to the builders creative to make the most unique pc

My wife asked for a bra in some other color than white and was told "It's the most popular color!". Her reply was "No. Just because it's the only color available, that doesn't mean it's the most popular".

I've been waiting for someone to review their cases. I bought one for a build blind 2 years ago and was amazingly impressed.

Really tempted to move to this case from my 4000D Airflow white, the blue is so nice. I like colours that are unique, black is so boring.

I have a the Montech air x case and I’m telling you man it’s one of the best designed cases it’s got plenty of space and easy to change out parts like replacing the fans, only issue I have with it is front to back it’s a little short so the aio I have in it had to go on front instead of the top like I wanted but in the end it ended up looking really good so it’s worth it plus it was $80

That color reminds of fallout Its the same color of the vaultsuit

I'm really enjoying the current trend of aquarium style cases, allowing parts/builds to be shown off. The blue looks really fun to colour coordinate with.

Is the Nvidia 12 pin good now or still problematic? I haven’t see anything in like a month can you please make an update vid please

BUILD YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER STOP THE FILLER CONTENT JAY DONT BE A BOOOOOMER love ya! :>

This seems like a great value case, I would get this (and in that blue) if I didn't already have a case

Great video as usual. May we hope for a Fractal North review soon Jay ?

I've had a number of systems in the past, mostly beige. Built a few black systems, nice to see a different Color offered. The Moroccan Blue was nice.

No matter what case colour I want it's always available at my local home hardware. 😁

I help people fix build lists for their PC's and I often find myself migrating to cases like Montech x3/1000 Air/100 Air, Fractal Pop Air/Focus 2, Matrexx, and such because it helps keep the costs within budget, usually have good airflow, and comes with fans installed! I also find that white builds are becoming increasingly popular, but I'm hoping more colours will be seen.

I feel like vertical mounting is the new school for GPU's :) Very beneficial in many ways. Prevents sagging, looks better, and i feel like the card is breathing pretty good too! I have that Rog Strix, but 4080 oc version, i bet yours is a 4090? :P

Hmm…need lighter frames.

This case needs Lian li Unifan... well every case does 😄😄👌

11:40 i have an Enermax Equilence Case and it has these plugs

Maybe they should offer a primed unit.

Asus used to give port plugs and covers like those you showed in the video. The asus X99 TUF SABERTOOTH came with USB, PCIe slot covers, and fake ram sticks to keep those clear as well. They also had pinblocks to make front panel wires to one block.

I built my rig in a Montech Air X case about 2 years ago. Over time it evolved from fully air cooled to an top mounted AIO to a full custom loop with 2x240MM radiators (with minor modifications to mount the top rad). Was surprised with the quality of the case for the price point and have recommended them to a few people that are looking into building their own rigs. The blue looks sharp too!

Do a build in it. We’d love to see cable management.

Great case review and awesome colour to show 🤩🤯🥰! - Montech the past 18 months has been coming in clutch with their case design, features and pricing! - Great to have different colour option for builders to personalise a pc more so than just black imo! - Quality of life features such as a combined motherboard header saves a few moments of annoying fiddling and accidentally pulling out of their cables as you try and get you pc power buttons etc connected are a great feature to have in todays crowded market! - As an ITX builder I much prefer smaller cases, but these newer mid tower designs and M-atx cases are looking soooo good that im considering my next build to go M-ATX 😱🤯🤩 - Montech is throwing in many fans (2-4) for a vg price into many of their pc cases without much additional cost which is great to see - Getting an RGB / Fan controller for $15-20 is a great value add considering big name brands are charging upwards of $40-60+ for their branded one …. They know who they are 🤦‍♀🤦💰😅😂🤣 Im sure there’s many other great things to feature here but these are my main things which I look for in my pc case purchase decisions!

damn i like this case kinda reminds me of ther Focus G from Fractal in some way but only that one had a acrylwindow but this one, off, if i didnt nerd out only on the Corsair 900D/ SMA8 cases or CM Storm Stryker ones :P then illd get this one for SURE :D good case bro, hope u do a cileberty build or for some kid outta ur friends kids or so, ild be dope >)

This video came out just as I was putting together a new build and was looking for a case. Bought the black version of this case and must say it has been great to this point. Quality construction, looks clean and sharp and really good cable management. Plus it comes with 5 or six fans!! So glad Jay did this review!!

Honestly, $93 is a solid price for that case. I've learned not to use the cheap ones, and this looks like a case where they did some thinking. I wouldn't put a massive powerhouse in it, but it could handle a solid gaming PC.

these gpus are so dam huge now that the case itself looks like its just a suitcase to hold it in only lol... Its like well.. now these companies going to have to run back to the drawing board because we got a freakin SUPER CHARGER inside this extremely small chassis lol.. take it to the drag strip and sees if it pull hard enough on a Quarter mile run lol.. 😭😅💪

I actually was considering Montech for my "cheap-ass" budget build.. it was close loss to another low cost manufacturer but did impress me... The case I chose had the advantage of a little more depth for cable management on the backside but I probably could have made the Montech work.

Good to see the shipping armor they applied to the corners of the box. I often wonder how anything ever arrives intact after seeing the way most things are packaged.

glad montech are getting more exposure! my case is the montech air 1000 premium and i love it, looks so clean, is easy to build in, and it comes with 2 front panels at no extra cost - great airflow too

is there a website that list all the dimension specification of GPUs? Like a site that you can visit and see the exact dimensions of every GPU is so that you'll know how large your case will be or what GPU will fit in your case? On my case I will just look at which GPU can fit on my ThinkCentre case.

A lot of nice features on that case.... the color tho... ugh. But imagine stripping it and hitting it with a nice colorshift spray! Whoa doggie! :) LOVE those reverse fans!

can you use this for a 2023 water build? Plzzz! last one you did was a year ago. I want to do a new water build, this will be my first. I'm going broke getting 4090 FE and cooling block, so I need to build around it on a budget. I figure around 300 for the MB and 300 for the CPU. But the liquid cooling and case will break me. I can only go a month or two on potatos. :) THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING!

I had a bookcase built around my PC case so it would fit in nicely.......the case is old now but I only have 17" H x 8" W x 20+D any suggestions......right not I have 2x2080 in SLI AIO CPU cooler, I mounted the fan on the outside, works just fine, anyway I'm looking for a newer case....

Just gonna toss this out there, but back in I think 2020 or 2021they really helped me out. My GPU had started to die, so I shot over to Micro Center's site to look at graphics cards and found and equivalent to mine at a decent price, so my brother and I shot on over. Asked a clerk about it, and this being curing the crypto/work from home boom and lots of people buying PC parts I kinda feared the worst. Well my brother, who drove, and I ended up leaving with two GeForce RTS 3060 ti graphics cards and a new power supply at MSRP. I am SO glad Micro Center doesn't play around and to price fixing BS. More recently we went up and got a dust blower and an Ifixit kit, while gawking at all the other cool stuff including a racing simulator set up. Place truly is a toy store for big kids.

If you put the fan to the back where you wanted it, it would be directly over the PSU...so you'd have the psu no longer exhausting to the back as the new fan would be trying to pull that air....not an ideal situation. Move it over to the middle of the case or lose it altogether.

hahahaha $50 is cheap on ur place.... my rgb case is $32 and rgb..... and its big..... its called GALAX REVOLUTION..... cheap there is doesnt makes sense..... if u keep calling expensive case CHEAP.... then they will keep making shitty case with same amount of material, but... ITS MORE EXPENSIVE.....every month.....

TIL Jay is colour blind. PS You went into the slow pan of the HD photo every time Jay started talking, and pointing out, about where you can adjust or add stuff. -5 points out of 10 for video.

How stupid of the GPU manufacturers... why when building a gigantic GPU, would you place the connector in such a way that you'll need an extra large case just for the connector? Why not place that connector on the bottom Right back. It would always be in the right spot for cable management as well as aesthetics.

Jay Jay Jay, Recommend me what would be better? Alienware Aurora R15 or build one myself? This’s my plan: - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition - Core i9-13900K - Case: ASUS ROG Z11 Mini-ITX - Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming - Ram: Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) 5200 MHz - Aio: ASUS ROG Ryujin II 240 ARGB - ASUS Rog Thor 1200 W

as decent as this looks, it's yet another case I can't use because of the PSU shroud vs. a fully passive cooled PSU.. dammit :( edit: also zero cooling for the 3.5" trays? that's bad

Amazing that it took decades to standardize the power/reset/HDD LED connector. A colossal pain in the neck to have to connect those individually. The layout hasn't changed since the late 1990s, I think.

I've had the exact same color case for two months now. The only negative I can find is there is just not enough room in the back for cable management. I'm about to blow it apart and transfer everything over to the Montech King 95.

I bought this case a month ago for 80 USD (In Taiwan). It is really a brilliant case for this price. Also about the extra fan, I highly recommend anyone who buy this case to installing it. I'm still using a MSI GTX1080ti Gaming X 11G. Before install that fan my GPU temperature at maximum loading is 83°C. After install the fan it's temperature drop to 78°C, which is very surprisingly.

WTF 93$ is nowadays considered budget LOL.... Back in 2013 when i bought my Fractal Define XL 2.0 it costed 130$ brand new (i got it even cheaper for 115$ new), and that was higher end case.. Sure someone may have the argument that Fractal was very new brand back then, and they did price their products cheap to gain brand recognition.. Ok but still these days 95-100$ to be considered budget, it just shows how everything got expensive AF...

Will my cable clear the side panel.... Another reason not to buy nvidia overpriced garbage this gen... Well the cards are not garbage, what makes them garbage is the price and for me the aux power connector. I dont think they really needed a new connector. The new connector still has 6x +12v conductors which are half the thickness of the conductors on a normal 8-pin PCIe, and guess what 2x 8-Pin PCIe has a combined 6x +12v conductors at twice the thickness. So if the new connector can handle 600W, 2x 8-Pin would easily do it as well despite only being rated for 150W, 150W was the original spec from when the 8-Pin was first introduced. (actually the Molex MiniFit Plus HCS 8-pins can support 12 Amps per 12v wire on good wires, like 16 AWG or better. Thats 36A @ 12v = 432W per connector, 2 connectors = 864W plus the 75W from the PCIe socket)... So really, a new connector wasnt needed, just use the newer versions of the 8-Pin and update the standard to suggest PSU manufacturers use 16AWG in thier PCIe 6+2 cables. I wont buy a new card with the new connector until they sort out the issues and make it so that I dont feel like I am going to snap the connector off the PCB or damage the cable trying to plug it in properly.

I'm considering this case for a new build. Looks like it has good cable management and will hold all my existing drives. Really liking this shade of blue and worth an extra $20 for something I'll be looking at for 5-8 years. I had to look carefully at the fan blades on that exhaust fan to be certain it was not also a reverse fan that would cause all of them to blow inward! The only thing I'm not liking is the location of the USB ports on the top, but my current system has them there as well. Just doesn't work as well for me because of where I have the PC sitting on my desk.

BIOS speaker? Front socket covers? I had and still have these in SilentiumPC/Endorfy cases. I already had these things in them 6 years ago. Poland is full of these housings. Designed here (in Poland), produced in China. They may not be colorful, but they work great, just like power supplies, cooling or water AIO.

Jay I'm sending this case back, cable management is not the greatest and like you said you have to be smart about it. I'm gonna go for the full tower case. Most likely the Cooler Master H500p case

I actually bought this case and did a build in it. I also found a major flaw. If you have a motherboard with a tall heat sink over the vrm's at the top of the MB, and most do. The heat sink will hit against the fans of the AIO. There isn't enough room. They didn't make enough room for the AIO at the top of this case. It's a major screw up. Buyer beware! The motherboard I used was a x570 gaming plus and I used an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II AIO 360

I need your wisdom. Excuse me cause I'm not native english so I'll try to explain me correctly. My Pc runs perfect BUT if I try to go in to the Bios the Pc gets frezze and I'm forced to hard stop pressing the on/off button. I can play RDR2 or WoW for hours without any problem. I can run all kind of test and benchs. However, if I restart the Pc and go to Bios always freeze. Ofc I can do a CMOS reset but I need to know what is happening. Any idea?

When looking for a pc case I always shop for value (i.e. all fans should be included, good airflow & cost should be under £100). I recently bought a good value case that no one seems to review on popular RU-vid channels. I bought an Antec df700 flux for £83 new, which comes with 5 fans (3 intake, 1 reverse for GPU and 1 out take). Having owned an antec 900 previously I think these cases are good value. Just another option for people to consider.

I'd like to see how it handles a hot load build. I have tried cases in the past that say they can keep components cool and end up failing on the cool end. The last one I bought (no names to protect anonymity) my components running Star Citizen were up in the 85-95c range. I dropped them into an old case (Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced) and with the same gear was down to 55-65c. Now this is all on air, not liquid, cooled if that would make a difference being liquid then maybe but I've never trusted liquid in electronics. It appears to have plenty of additional fans like my HAF case (2x230mm and 3x120mm). So again I'd love to see it with a hot system plugged into it.

The only one of these that I can find on Amazon UK (on 13/1/2023) costs £226 ($277)! I know Jay said prices may fluctuate, but that's ridiculous!! Does it really cost $180 or so to ship from the US?!?!

Ha ha ha nerd 🤓 🤣 😆 😜 😄 😉

Put my most recent build (11600, 32gb, 2x 2tb nvme raid0, 3070) in a Montech I found at MacroPeriphery and have been pretty happy with the build overall. Nothing bad to say about their build quality for sure- And I went with a white case, first time ever

DIs liked. Just another box. Blame the mother board manufactures. I have my PC on the other side. Cant find a good case to run on my right. so I run a test bench style. Lian Li PC-T70 (WHite) all air cooled. its the port access, that running an every BOX cant fit. I want a left side PC. Again I blame motherboards 4th gen Ryzen has nothing to accommodate. So FLAT test bench style it will be.

$93? Amazon has em listed at $99(Black), $106(white), and $119(Blue), so you were dead on about the increasing price for the rarity of color. One other thing being able to remove that mesh allows: you can install a cd/dvd drive/burner if you need one for any reason in a case that otherwise couldn't support anything other than an external.

Washed cobalt? Case colors shouldn't impact costs much. As long as you keep the same plastic parts, common screws, etc. In car industry black paint is actually more expensive since black requires most thorough preparation (sanding, etc.) due to how black reveals imperfections. It's just milking people with special wishes. Also decent spray paints exist in 2023 for DIY. Not nearly as resistant as the factory "powder coated" ones, but still significantly stronger than 30 years ago.

Montech has become my favorite case maker, and I really really dig this blue! This thing would look sick a Suprim GPU in it.

Jay you should check out this case: Gamedias GD-APOLLO E2 Elite. It has an interesting design and I've bought multiple of them. You can pick them up for $60 and they are great cases for budget PCs
