I know case reviews can be a bore for content creators, but thank you for doing them, they're very helpful. In a sea of component reviews, there's few decent case reviewers, and relying on promo vids and iffy sales images isn't so keen.
Really impressed by Montech products lately, the white Sky Two GX looks sooo clean and beautiful! I’ve no idea how they deliver perfect products everytime🎉
Goodness, Montech is just winning. I tend to go for "high-end" cases but I think it's awesome to see Montech making great design choices. Hinged glass panels, extra height for radiators, multiple options for fan placement, etc. Awesome!
Great video, bought one of these a few weeks ago for my 14600k/4070 Ti Super rig. Very happy with the build quality and ease of installing components. Installed a pair of 140’s on the top and a 120 in the rear. A pair of 120’s on the side will improve the air flow even better. 😊 Great case, well worth the price even with the cost of additional fans.
so far Montech is killing it! i loved the king 95 case, ended up buying one myself, though my system was pretty new already.. I did not think they will come up with a new case that looks better and has more interesting features in such a short time. Great review, thank you :)
I'm not surprised that Montech has come up with another excellently priced case, the only thing I'm not sure is that it does much to differentiate itself from the Air 903 Max. Sky Two GX seems to be just slightly smaller, but it doesn't come with a preinstalled rear fan like the 903 Max. Given it's $10 more expensive, I don't see much reason to pick it over the 903 Max.
Completely agree. The Sky 2 GX is seemingly the middle child between the Air 100 and the 903 Max. I'm starting to wonder if they're ultimately planning on phasing out the "Air" line. If you'll notice, you can't even buy new fans to match the ones sold in the 903 and Air 100. Yet the new ring style fans (like the ones used in the Sky series and the King 95) are readily available in black and white, traditional and reversed... I wouldn't be surprised if the GX was envisioned as a sort of 903 successor.
God the montech stickers on the centers of fans not being centered and wiggling as the fan spins would make me axe this case into 8 million pieces within the first day.
You did a great job showing off the case and its features. That is the reason I subscribed to see all of your videos. At the start of your video, you show both the black and white cases. I would have used the white case to show the features of the case. I wish you had reviewed the KING 95 PRO case, as I have an unboxed one sitting next to my gaming desk. Where did you purchase your white cables from, and what brand are they? Do you know what gauge wires are used in their construction? Thanks again for making a very informative video.
Amazing video, mate, as always here! Between this case and Lancool216 which one do you recommend? I see that in the test comes out better this Montech:D Greetings from Spain
I’ve built in the lancool 216 and it’s really good too. If you go for that one go with a good air cooler instead of an AIO, it’s a great case for air cooling. I do like the design of this new GX better though and can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Я владею этим корпусом. Скажу своем мнение. За месяц использования корпус собрал очень много пыли. Так как нет нормального пылевого фильтра. У меня дома более менее чисто. Каждый день робот пылесосит 2 раза. Плюс есть очиститель и увлажнитель воздуха. В общем компания не могла сделать нормальные пылевые фильтры. Как например у Lian li или cougar. У них очень хорошие нейлоновые пылевые фильтры. Компания могла бы сделать пылевые фильтры за которую можно отдельно купить. Ставлю твердую 3,5 из 5 баллов. И не советовал бы купить этот «чудесный пыль собиратель»
This case is actually a bit smaller than the less expensive Air 903 and Air 903 Max, the latter with four ARGB 140mm fans. Other than the ability to mount side fans and the hinged window, I don't see a reason to choose this over the 903.
So the deep cool ch160 (which is considerably more interesting considering the components that can be packed into such a small chassis)gets all hate but this barely mediocre shoe box gets fantastic reviews for being the same design of every other tower style case for the last decade??!!
The CH160 is the most underwhelming, poorly built case I've seen in a long time. There is absolutely nothing special about it. Deepcool needs to reevaluate it's quality control because their cases are simply bad quality.
@@GearSeekers I’m a huge fan of you and your content. I was in a bit of a mood that day so may have been a little hasty in my comment. I trust your word especially seeing as I have not had one yet in my possession. I do however have a customer who wants one and I will be doing a build in one this weekend. I’m big enough to admit if I’m wrong and will gladly share my own thoughts as well. Thank you btw for taking the time to reply back. Always awesome to get actual communication with one of the UA-camrs I watch all the time.👍
Montech (and all other case manufacturers) need to come out with new designs for PC cases. They have all looked like this for the past 10+ years, and its nothing to be excited about whatsoever. Sure, they add this and that on the inside, but they all look exactly the same on the outside. I have a Meshroom S with an ATX mobo, and I love it because it's not this style case. It's different. I'm not knocking on this video. I love all of Nick's videos, I just don't like the case style.
I see what you mean. Given I'm fine with mATX mobos with my PC it's been interesting on how the mATX case market has changed so much to have more compact cases ever since the Sama IM01 came out followed by the Asus AP201 (I have the IM01 rebrand, the Tecware Fusion). Both cases crucially are under $100 to be accessible to many and while not without their compromises (more on for the Sama IM01's width constraints for GPUs, fan sizes, etc. -- the AP201 is a solid all-rounder for practicality for many but some might want the case to be ever so slightly smaller still that the SAMA IM01 manages to do) they are still interesting to build around in. The likes of some ZZAW/Mechanic Master/Jonsbo cases exists as well if you are willing to spend more and at least for the Jonsbo D31 potentially have a screen as well for whichever purpose a user might need. While they have been critiqued for not being great at cooling, the Thermaltake Tower line of cases for ITX/mATX/ATX are also distinct in standing out to look like popcorn machines lol. The Meshroom S you mention is honestly one I've been considering as an mATX case as well, given it tries to really be the most compact vertical case while still allowing mATX or even as mentioned ATX, and as long as one is aware of how to build on it and what parts are meant to work and not work it's interesting to have. I wish there were more cases like it especially on the budget side since having cases where the GPU is vertical definitely helps with preventing sagging issues without needing like an antisag bracket. Sidenote: Montech frankly already has potential when they had the Sky One Mini which has similar dimensions to the Sama IM01, so they could explore even more varied cases down the line. Admittedly review-wise that case was kinda worse (only one 120mm top fan support), no mesh panels, tempered glass only) even if the case looked better than the Sama IM01 to my eyes, but Montech has proven they can deliver and if they ever release a second version (or even copy the Meshroom S) I'd be very interested.
I know case reviews can be a bore for content creators, but thank you for doing them, they're very helpful. In a sea of component reviews, there's few decent case reviewers, and relying on promo vids and iffy sales images isn't so keen.

Montech be like: Screw the pc case trend of panoramics, customer feedback wants more functionality and performance, there you go, 11 freakin' fans!
The plastic washer isn't to prevent scratching the case, it's to help prevent the thumb portion getting stuck to the panel when tightened to tightly.
I love the design of Montech's fans.
same, I own the king 95 and now building a tower 300 and bought the montech fans to go in it

Montech in with the goods once again. Awesome video fams
I love that they are bringing back the white PCB motherboards! It makes the whole build clean and fresh!
Three fans on front 140mm = P- pressure or B- balance or F - flow ? Thx !
I'd love to see an MATX version of this. Cut the size down and to me it's perfect
Brought to you by the most balanced channel!

Is it possible to do 3*140 mm in front and the same time 360mm rad on top?
God the montech stickers on the centers of fans not being centered and wiggling as the fan spins would make me axe this case into 8 million pieces within the first day.
Great job mate and looking good my brother
I do agree, i really prefer a standard case over a fish tank, especially dual chamber ones.
what these two holes for? near the front fans
do you think the arctic freezer 3 would top mount in this case?
It is getting there, but the basement should be fully mesh, all sides.
Could also look kewl if you add led strips in the basement.
does it come with thermal paste?
The cooler? He already used it in the previous videos. So he needs to apply it again
Coolers usually come with thermal paste, pre-applied or not
Does it come with "tweezers" perhaps?
What case do you recommend the most at this moment? i am looking at Corsair 5000d or something like the cut 593p. but i am not sure

Check that, might be my next full build^^
have a link for the case?
Extra point for GPU support stand^^
