Review on πŸ–₯️ Montech X3 Glass: Premium 6pcs RGB Fans ATX Mid-Tower Gaming Case - High Airflow, White by Aaron Jimison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Aesthetics over functionality

I've done a few custom builds before, but this one was much worse in terms of embedding. A friend chose this case to get some components out of an outdated large case; it looked good and was a great price. Problems: - Molex fan. Even my 10 year old fake RGB fans were 4-pin with Molex options, but these fans are just ahh. Nice but not great. Hot glue drips and paint scratches. I'm just picky - can't use half the SATA cables. It's huge. I only noticed this after looking at other reviews. Due to the protrusion and use of the ATX board, you cannot use the second row of SATA ports on many normal boards. The power supply only mounts the fan downwards. The case had a grille over the power supply, but the mounting holes only allow it to fan down. Why? It adds to the cost just to see the decal if you could punch those holes on the back for a dual mount. - Front SSD mounts. Hopefully none of your cables have a kink. This is a microATX case that can pass as ATX if you're skimping on what you need or doing a simple install. If this was my first time I would go insane - spend a little more and go to a branded brand where they worked hard on these bizarre design flaws.
