MONTECH X3 Mesh High Airflow ATX Mid-Tower PC Case, 6 Fixed RGB Fans, Black

I haven’t been able to build a pc in over 10 years, so I was pretty excited to put one together. I ordered the Montech X3 Mesh & I was initially pretty happy with it… until after I spent several days putting everything together & discovered that the front middle fan isn’t spinning, although the LEDs work. As far as everything else, I think it’s a great case for the sale price of $50. UPDATE: After contacting the seller Skytech, they offered me a partial refund because of the non-working fan. They also gave me an email address for the manufacturer Montech. After communicating with them via email, they sent me a replacement fan which arrived today. I haven’t tried replacing the defective fan yet, but I’m trusting that the new one will work. Overall, an excellent customer service experience in dealing with both companies. Changing my rating to add another star 👍 UPDATE #2: Montech did send me another fan, but it’s not the same one. It’s a 2-wire instead of 3-wire (which means it can’t be monitored/controlled by the mobo or software) & the LED lights are different enough that it’s noticeable. Not the end of the world & I do appreciate the fact that they sent one. Negatives: •Took 1 week to receive, which is a bit much •1 fan doesn’t spin (replaced)* •Fans are LED & not addressable RGB as the pictures might lead some to believe (although this is pretty clearly stated). •Fans have older style Molex connections that are all daisy chained together. •Cabling is fairly inelegant & comes held together with metal twist ties. •No PC speaker. •Materials aren’t the greatest. The gauge of the metal is pretty thin & a bit flimsy. •No rubber grommets in the cabling passthroughs •It’s perhaps a bit small for some ATX builds Positives: •Although the geometric aesthetic seems heavily “inspired” by Fractal brand cases, it’s a nice looking case regardless. •Pretty quiet at idle considering the 6 original case fans, the 2 additional fans I added & a 3 fan GPU •Good, simple design of the side panel, which is easily removable by just lifting it off, although the nylon ribbon loop used as a handle might turn some people off. •Side panel is tempered glass instead of plexiglass/plastic. •Small-ish mid tower case, but ATX motherboard, top mounted radiator in a push/pull configuration, 3 140mm, 5 120mm fans, a Corsair RM750 PSU & a 303mm Radeon 6650xt 3 fan GPU all fit in a nice looking package (although connecting the wiring & cable management is a bit of a chore). •Good airflow •It has a decent magnetic dust filter on the top, although that’s actually not great for airflow & will actually trap dust & restrict the hot air that you want to exhaust from your case. •I’ve seen some reviews that complain about the rear expansion card slots being the cheap kind that you have to bend or cut to remove, but the ones I removed when installing a GPU were secured with a slot & screw (much better). •Although the specs say it officially supports GPU’s up to 303mm I managed to squeeze in an MSI Gaming X Trio GeForce RTX 3080 which is 323mm with maybe even a couple of mm’s to spare. Conclusion: *After living with this case for about a month & the experiences that I had with both the seller & manufacturer, I’m adding the 5th star to my rating. It’s more of a budget case so you can’t expect perfection, but for $50 it’s an extremely good case & continues to perform very well.

Good case if you want ATX in a smaller case. Great airflow, fits my rtx 5070 with plenty room. Upgraded my fans to thermal take and plugged them into my motherboard for RGB control. I'm running a 12600kf clocked to 5.1ghz with a thermal right 240 aio stays at 62 degrees over a 1 hour stress test. 60 degrees in game playing cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing psycho settings. On a side note not related to this case... If you go 240 aio you can get a arctic liquid freezer 3 pro and it comes with a 38mm thick radiator instead of industry standard of 25mm giving you the efficiency of a 360aio and it has a built in vrm fan. I will be upgrading to that for my 14700k upgrade I will be doing. Overall this has been a solid case for the last 2 years with great airflow decent to build in. I case swapped my wife's into it as well hers has the factory fans still in it with a dual fan 4060 (3rd pic)

Nice roomy case. Handles my 300mm long GPU no sweat. 6 fans comes with it. They all light up RGB and are the same. They cannot be synch or programmed, just static RGB, no breathing/cycling. But you get 6 working large fans that are quiet in the price and they're preinstalled and prewired and it's done well. Lots of room and places for cable management. Looks modern without looking like cheese. Comes with mesh filters on all areas. Overall can't say anything bad about it, its a good case, easy to build in, no fussy weird stuff. Lots of room on the back side for cables so you're not trying to stuff it all and hide it.

This case is a great case and value. The fans installed are quiet and even when they spin up you hardly even notice them. The case works great, the glass side is easy to remove to work inside and cable management is easy in there. My only issue is the button for the RGB is tiny and is a push button that an adults finger has issues pushing to turn them off since it's recessed below the case top. The power and reset buttons don't reset and are flush with the case. But that RGB button is frustrating, especially when it's night and your winding down for the evening and don't want them on. You have to keep a pen or something to push it in. The way I'd suggest to fix it is to either make it bigger, which would mean the other buttons would need to be bigger to accommodate it. Or make it where it pops up instead of recess into the case. Realistically is it a reason to hate the case? Not at all. It's just a frustration that shouldn't be there and is what keeps me from giving this a 5 star rating.

It’s not the highest quality material but it still remains sturdy enough to bang around without worrying about it. The bonus there, it’s VERY light weight. You won’t throw your back out picking this up. The fans included are a huge plus, they are fixed so the speeds cannot be adjusted, but they keep my pc cool and they’re quiet enough to not get annoying. I thought the cable management was going to be a nightmare but it actually turned out to be very manageable. And I gotta say I really like the look of the case itself, very appealing. The ability to shut off the rgb with the simple press of a button on top of the case is a huge W. The rgb is fixed as well, so the colors cannot be changed, but it looks really nice when it’s lit up. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. The case looks great, and my cpu stays cool. I would definitely recommend this case to someone looking to upgrade. 10/10 ***UPDATE*** I also ordered the XR fish tank case for my primary pc. It is absolutely stunning. The fans included were decent quality (5v 3 pin) but I swapped them out to match my aio. There is plenty of room for up to 9 120mm fans. The rear exhaust can fit 1 140mm fan, and the top supports 120mm or140mm fans. Airflow is excellent throughout the case. Cable management was a breeze. Beyond satisfied with my second Montech case.

So first off let me state that this case is great for budget minded people. The build quality is better than I expected and the airflow is great. But please read below because there may be some deal breakers for you in my review. Now let's get into some of the issues. For starters, the motherboard tray/mount is very flimsy. Having the board installed does increase the rigidity but it's kind of sketchy trying to plug in certain cables. Issue #2 I ran into was the SSD sleds on the back side of the panel are set up in such a way to where I couldn't get my sata cables in because there's a lip that juts out and prevents a flush mount. Issue #3 and it's my biggest problem with the case, 4 of the fricken motherboard standoffs stripped out when I was threading in the screws. I've built 2 PCs now, so I might not know everything, but I know which screws to use. So now the right side of my motherboard is barely held in and 4 standoff holes are now useless. Another tiny issue is that my PSU is mounted in such a way to where a small portion of the fan is obstructed. Not a big deal for a budget case,just be mindful of that as you might need a spacer to push it deeper into the case. I did not use the fans it comes with as for one they aren't ARGB, and for two, they are powered by Molex, and I'm not a massive fan of that (pun intended). Cable management is surprising great, though getting the back panel on was a bit of a pain even with my cables secured tightly. The "top panel" io is pretty good, since I'm not using Molex for the fans I just kept the reset switch and LED button unpowered. The main compartment has plenty of room for my M Atx build with a rtx3050 8gb GPU. I still have room on the top of the case for fans if I need it. All in all this case is much better than the one I replaced, just do your research before you buy.

This is one of the most feature-rich high-airflow cases you can get on a budget. The magnetic glass door which comes off without any screws is amazing, makes cleaning the case a breeze. The mesh front does a good job keeping dust and cat hair out of the system without sacrificing too much airflow. The fans included are fine, the molex centipede in the back is a bit of a pain to cable manage, but they leave you plenty of room to do it. As much as the back ports have pop-out designs for the PCIE slots, you can easily just slot the unused GPU ones back in, making it kind of a non-issue. If you're an enthusiast who wants the best RGB and fan control, this isn't the case for you, the RGB is static and the fans are too. But for the price, it's frankly unbeatable. A bit thin and flimsy in places, but a pleasure to build in, great size, great airflow, and, again, price tag.

Great case with plenty of room and airflow for a great price.

Calidad precio está muy bien y refrigeración espectacular, único inconveniente que los ventiladores son fijos y el RGB es fijo se apaga o se enciende nose cambiar.

Echt een koopje, metaal is aan de dunne kant maar wel goed afgewerkt, dat maakt hem wel heel licht. Als je al een hele stapel fans hebt liggen, dan kan je wrschl beter een andere kopen, zo niet, dan is dit veel waar voor je geld. Hij komt uit goed uit de tests als een van de betere, zo niet de beste goedkope kast.

Très très beau. Air flow qui fait partie des meilleurs boitiers que j ai eu. Cable management un peu compliqué mais rien de catastrophique. Pas de point negatif. Je recommande.
