Excellent analysis of the case! It's awesome to see Montech stepping up with upgrades that are both superior and more affordable! It's almost unbelievable, but here we are witnessing it!
Awesome case ! It’s so impressive that they actually listened to users feedback and improve on their product. Sky Two GX the budget king indeed, plus it looks so good 🎉
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.
Thanks for the detailed no nonsense review, I really enjoyed watching this! Though I won't be building in this any time soon, I love how user friendly this case is, not only in terms of building, but cleaning as well. Montech is doing really well, their all new aio looks amazing as well
Well done montech for listening to customers and making changes. I suggested a few of these myself in video comments. So it’s great to think they might have read them ! 😊
I have been waiting for this case , i will hopefully build this year. Dont know why but i feel Kitguru does best case reviews and im stoked Leo gave it 9/10.
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.
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.
I've done two builds in the Air 903, and my next might be in a Sky Two GX. There are loads of fans about my house, so adding one to the rear is no fuss at all.
Basically a budget Lian Li 216 with a hinge and a 3 front fan setup rather than 2 large fans. Good job Montech. Worse part of this case is the name TBH.
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.
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?
I like the black case and am debating whether to switch from my NZXT H7 Flow to this. Should I Leo? I have a thick Arctic radiator installed in the top.
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. Leo
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.

Sorry for all the spam, we've deleted it all for now but please report it if you see any more!
They are getting such a good rep. Brilliant company really
Thanks for your views

Brands like Corsair could take note !
Good value in 2024 ? Surely not ! 😅
Its pretty rare, we agree!
Awesome case ! It’s so impressive that they actually listened to users feedback and improve on their product.
Sky Two GX the budget king indeed, plus it looks so good 🎉
Totally agree!
Good they listen to people. Others don’t seem to. Lian li aren’t bad though
Yeah they seemed clued into the comments in the community.
Really neat. Frankly, Montech is killing it right now. Right up there with Thermalright. Best bang for buck.
Montech never disappoints.
Agree
You bought a case from them before ?
Love Leo, straight to the point and brilliantly sarcastic. Great sense of humour
lol he can be 😂
Well done for listening to us montech 🎉🎉
Montech seem to know what the audience want. Very clued into the community.
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.
Nice to see a case with a real world price tag instead of the Ive just won the lottery and now Im going to show off to my mates.
What a great case. Watched this twice now. I like how they haven’t even cut corners on the cable colors.
I'm so impressed with the no cuts dissection video style. I'm sold!!
first proper analysis on TH-cam. Been waiting for this one thanks Leo 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
Great review, with all the attention to detail Montech took with the white matching accessories they give you black cables for some reason.
Not the most exciting case but it does get the job done for not very much money.
Man, I should've just waited. Just got my Air 903, 3 days ago. But I don't regret buying it, Its a fantastic case especially for the price.
Thanks for the detailed no nonsense review, I really enjoyed watching this! Though I won't be building in this any time soon, I love how user friendly this case is, not only in terms of building, but cleaning as well.
Montech is doing really well, their all new aio looks amazing as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done Leo. Great presentation and review on the new case.
Thank you kindly
Hey great review Leo. Nice to get a full review up on this baby
Really impressed with this chassis for the money. The improvements really improve the overall product.
Thanks for sharing your views
Well done montech for listening to customers and making changes. I suggested a few of these myself in video comments. So it’s great to think they might have read them ! 😊
This case looks damn good!
When the case was stripped and the case was twisted I was pleasantly surprised with the rigidity of the structure. Especially at this price point.
It’s well made for the price.
Awesome case. Nice improvements over the original which was no slouch
Agreed!
I have been waiting for this case , i will hopefully build this year. Dont know why but i feel Kitguru does best case reviews and im stoked Leo gave it 9/10.
Thanks for the kind words
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.
Thanks for sharing your views 👍🏻
Thank you, kindly. That was an excellent review on a truly superb case!
Great review. Been Waiting for this one
Glad you liked it
Awesome very impressed with the work in this. And the matching screws and cables. Corsair take note !
Great coverage on the case. Really well priced
Thanks
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.
Good choice!
Lancool 216 is a great case.
The RGB makes the case look way more expensive than it really is. Nicely done.
Hey Leo great review. Saw a few other videos on this on TH-cam which were pointless. Thanks for the data. 👍🏻
Oh yes I agree. It’s cool to wear a beanie however. So art students tell me.
Just in love with this pc case! Would like to get one soon!!!!
I love your reviews!!
Really nice array of cooling fans there.
Yeah they make it look way fancier than it is.
I've done two builds in the Air 903, and my next might be in a Sky Two GX. There are loads of fans about my house, so adding one to the rear is no fuss at all.
Great breakdown. Best value case I’ve seen.
We agree it’s a hard one to beat at the modest asking price.
Great review of a great case 😉
Amazing. Cheers!
Great review 👍🏻
Review is amazing, Leo!
great price that considering
Cracking review guys
Thanks. Nice review.
Thanks for watching!
Good job montech 🤘🏻
good one Leo!
Thanks!
I like the white version. Well worth the extra tenner over the black.
Thanks for sharing your views
Thats a nice cooler.
In black it even looks good but a 140 back fan and a front magnetic air filter would have been welcome.
I think we need to see the deep cool Morpheus
Montech showing everyone else how to release a budget chassis 😮
It’s one of the best.
I want one.
Basically a budget Lian Li 216 with a hinge and a 3 front fan setup rather than 2 large fans. Good job Montech. Worse part of this case is the name TBH.
yes they need to rethink their product names, we agree. but its quite an asian thing we notice at times.
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.

Some noise dampening foam and this would be even better
I like the black version of this better
Reminds me of Lian Li Lancool 216 :)
great video, sub
Thanks for the sub!
Is it possible to mount arctic liquid freezer II 360mm from the inside on the front while keeping montech fans?
Gigabyte RTX 4080 Aurus Master will do ?
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?
Great video! Does this allow top mounting for an Arctic Liquid Freezer III? Clearance wise.
The size of GPUs nowadays is just scary.
Leo keeping it real and looking out for us cheap bastards.
Always 😉
Wow that graphics card just about gets in there.
You think there is enough room for the freezer 3. It does say can support 66mm AIO the freezer 3 is 63. It just looks like not enough space
Which is better this case or montech air 903 max? Are there any other competitors on the same price range?
I like the black case and am debating whether to switch from my NZXT H7 Flow to this. Should I Leo? I have a thick Arctic radiator installed in the top.
It doesn't look Bad,,OK 👍
For the same price Lancool 216 is superior case in my opinion. 75 for the black and 80 for the white would be a good price.
Can this accommodate arctic lf3 280mm at the top?
Is there dust filter in front n top panel ?
how deep is fans mounting place on the side?
Really like this in white not a fan of black as its just too dull.
I don't care about the fans, just the case haha. Will a front 360 radiator with 3 120mm fans fit with a GPU that big?
ooo . . a mini/cheaper lancool iii
Why cant case manufacturers finally sort out cable management by making cables on the back of motherboards a universal thing?
Thats a nice cooler.
Do they do a version that doesn't resemble a Christmas tree? Or can you switch off the RGB show?
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.
Leo
What’s the closest competitor to this chassis ?
Phanteks XT Pro/Ultra, Endorfy Arx 500 Air, Chieftec APEX AIR and Montech Air 903 Max.
I don't get why they couldn't have increased the price by $5 snd thrown in a rear fan even a non-RGB one. I know you can get your own fan, but it's always cheaper for a manufacturer to add one themselves.
Why is the white version more expensive. Is this common ?
Could be a volume of sales thing.
I generally dont think spending loads on a case is worth it. Better to saye the money for the really decent components inside.
Normal,, budget horses for 90,,,100,,$,,other yesterday if it cost 5000,,,6000 euros,,but it is OK,,,for this money 👍
Came here to say, first comment and great review!
Hey, thanks!
This is a Lian Li Lancool II knockoff but it's better 😊
Very affordable bit generic but it doesn't look as cheap as it is.
Leo ain't got time to bleed
