Review on πŸŒͺ️ Montech X2 MESH Black ATX Mid Tower Case: Enhanced Airflow, Fine Mesh Front Panel, Rainbow LED Fans, Full Glass Side Panel by Patrick Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money external components

This is a solid case for its price range. Unlike many cases in this price range, this case features a real tempered glass side panel (rather than plastic), a PSU shroud, multiple 2.5" SSD bays, top and bottom magnetic dust shields, and of course 4 preinstalled ones Cases. Installed RGB fan. The fans are not responsive and only have a rainbow color mode, but they pump a lot of air through the car. The metal is a bit cheap and the front panel is mostly plastic, but it still looks pretty sleek. I installed a full size ATX motherboard with no issues and it had plenty of room for cable management. There is room on top for a 240mm AIO cooler, although it's not needed on this particular build. It cannot be reinserted, so make sure you know exactly where your cards are before removing the covers. The case fans use a single 4-pin Molex cable for power, which is initially read that way may as there was a plug in the power supply, but yours may not be. Can't say anything bad about this case, it has some issues that are typical for a cheap case (cheap metal, cheap screws and gaskets) but there are many other little touches that make it worth the money (glass panel, power supply) . PSU shroud, SSD bays, 4 included RGB fans, relatively small form factor) Update 1.2.21: I bought the "X2 Mesh" model of this case for another build and am very happy with it. The X2 model is slightly improved but not much different from the X1, the front panel is flat rather than a polygonal texture, and there are 2 large intake fans on the front panel instead of the 3 smaller fans that came pre-installed in the X1; That being said, I don't have anything to say that I haven't already said, I've built many PCs in a variety of cases and these are some of the best in this price range right now.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
