Solid budget case with a ton of features
By Chris Deluna on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023
I've bought some budget $80 cases that were not this nice. The build quality, the cable routing and features are all outstanding. I upgraded my son's case from a coolermaster MB320L that was way too small so it was cutting off airflow to, well everything, his cpu, gpu and hard drives were all putting out a ton of heat because the airflow was just bad. Get this, The MB320L is now MORE expensive than this one. Once I switched, all of the temps dropped. He has more fans, his pc is quieter, gets better fps in his games (seriously, temps dropped that much) and fully addressable RGB fans. Ok enough comparing, this case was extremely easy to work with. The side panels come with captive screws that make it near impossible to lose or drop. The tempered glass is a full panel with an internal ps basement to hide all of those cables. The full mesh panels on the front have an air filter (It IS a filter despite what reviewer BigChonk says) that's easy to clean and the top vent has a removeable filter that is magnetic. There is tons of space to fit up to a 360 radiator on the front or top, or both for water cooling. The rubber grommets for cables are a nice addition and the moulded cable management chanels are extremely roomy. The only issue I had with this case is I can't use the usbc port because the motherboard he has doesnt have the right port to connect it to so keep that in mind if you have an older board. I definatly would have bought this case three years ago for my own build if it had been out. I mean honestly it's the little touches like the screws and the fan hub and the magnetic filters and led button (OH HOLD FOR 3 SECONDS to put it in software controled mode) that make this case the frontrunner for the best budget case of 2023.

Good case, but poor QC and support
By CP on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
Pros: Overall case design is good, plenty of space and good airflow. I really like that it supports 140mm fans on the front intake and exhaust. The included RGB hub on the MAX version is also really convenient. All-in-all, if you receive this case with no issues at the $75 price, it's great value for money. Cons: A lot of this is going to be specific to my own experience but I have two big issues with the case I received. The first is that one of the front case fans has a faulty bearing and makes a loud clicking noise when it spins. This happens at all rpm ranges. I recorded it and contacted Montech customer support, who promised to send me a replacement fan but that it would take 2-3 months. That was a bit too long to wait...so I just got my own 140mm replacement fan for $18. On top of that, the entire front housing of the case was installed upside down. All of the text, including the Montech branding, is upside down and the latch for the front cover is at the top instead of the bottom. I'm really wondering how this made it past the QC check. Overall: I'm living with the case, the upside down text isn't the end of the world and I've replaced the faulty front fan (at my own expense). In hindsight though, given the extra cost of the replacement fan and the wonky appearance of the upside down text, I should've just gotten the Corsair 4000D. Your experience might be better than mine, just keep in mind it's a roll of the dice and RMA times are apparently several months.
