  • 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

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

  • @taomahNEGEV
    @taomahNEGEV Місяць тому

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

  • @shurikenflip9818
    @shurikenflip9818 12 днів тому

    Which is better this case or montech air 903 max? Are there any other competitors on the same price range?

  • @GraceMcClain
    @GraceMcClain Місяць тому

    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.

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

    • @KitGuruTech
      @KitGuruTech  Місяць тому

      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.

    @shrekislove1509 Місяць тому

    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.
