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.

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.

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)

This is a great budget case despite its "budget" quirks. It was quite simple to build in for a first-time builder despite some slight problems when building, probably due to the quality of the materials. The fans it comes with are actually not too bad and are a great addition. The RGB works fine and the airflow they provide seems decent/sufficient. The case also has a good amount of USB connectors at the top too. The glass panel and mesh front looks good as well. Overall, this isn't the worst pick of a case for the price.

Decent quality case for the price, I appreciated the amount of included fans saved me the trouble of having to buy them seperately

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.

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.

Really good case comes with everything you need.

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.
