Montech Sky Two GX - Champion Budget Case

- KitGuru reviewed the original Montech Sky Two back in January 2023 and we liked it, a lot. This updated GX version has been tweaked in a number of areas but maintains the same low price and gains a good amount of mesh for high airflow. Read more here: bit.ly/4aWdu8i

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
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.
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!
Brands like Corsair could take note !
Good value in 2024 ? Surely not ! 😅
Its pretty rare, we agree!
Really neat. Frankly, Montech is killing it right now. Right up there with Thermalright. Best bang for buck.
Well done for listening to us montech 🎉🎉
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 😂
What a great case. Watched this twice now. I like how they haven’t even cut corners on the cable colors.
Hey great review Leo. Nice to get a full review up on this baby
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 ! 😊
first proper analysis on CZcams. Been waiting for this one thanks Leo 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
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.
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.
Really like that fan selection youve got there looks lovely.
Just in love with this pc case! Would like to get one soon!!!!
Great review. Been Waiting for this one
Glad you liked it
I love your reviews!!
Great review 👍🏻
Thank you, kindly. That was an excellent review on a truly superb case!
Review is amazing, Leo!
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.
Cracking review guys
Great review of a great case 😉
Very impressive at the spead at which the reviewer was able to break this case down.
Well done Leo. Great presentation and review on the new case.
Thank you kindly
Hey Leo great review. Saw a few other videos on this on CZcams which were pointless. Thanks for the data. 👍🏻
Oh yes I agree. It’s cool to wear a beanie however. So art students tell me.
This case looks damn good!
Great breakdown. Best value case I’ve seen.
We agree it’s a hard one to beat at the modest asking price.
Great coverage on the case. Really well priced
Thanks
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
Amazing. Cheers!
Awesome very impressed with the work in this. And the matching screws and cables. Corsair take note !
Thanks. Nice review.
Thanks for watching!
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.
Really nice array of cooling fans there.
Yeah they make it look way fancier than it is.
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.
Awesome case. Nice improvements over the original which was no slouch
Agreed!
Really impressed with this chassis for the money. The improvements really improve the overall product.
Thanks for sharing your views
good one Leo!
Thanks!
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.
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 👍🏻
Good job montech 🤘🏻
Thats a nice cooler.
I think we need to see the deep cool Morpheus
great price that considering
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.
Still trying to work out how they manage em waves with glass panel sides.
I want one.
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?
In black it even looks good but a 140 back fan and a front magnetic air filter would have been welcome.
Reminds me of Lian Li Lancool 216 :)
I like the white version. Well worth the extra tenner over the black.
Thanks for sharing your views
Montech showing everyone else how to release a budget chassis 😮
It’s one of the best.
Some noise dampening foam and this would be even better
The size of GPUs nowadays is just scary.
I like the black version of this better
Wow that graphics card just about gets in there.
Leo keeping it real and looking out for us cheap bastards.
Always 😉
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.
It doesn't look Bad,,OK 👍
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
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.
Really like this in white not a fan of black as its just too dull.
What’s the closest competitor to this chassis ?
Phanteks XT Pro/Ultra, Endorfy Arx 500 Air, Chieftec APEX AIR and Montech Air 903 Max.
Why is the white version more expensive. Is this common ?
Could be a volume of sales thing.
I don't get why they couldn't have increased the price by $5 snd thrown in a rear fan even a non-RGB one. I know you can get your own fan, but it's always cheaper for a manufacturer to add one themselves.
Came here to say, first comment and great review!
Hey, thanks!
I generally dont think spending loads on a case is worth it. Better to saye the money for the really decent components inside.
Very good cable management but thats more the reviewer than the case isnt it.
Normal,, budget horses for 90,,,100,,$,,other yesterday if it cost 5000,,,6000 euros,,but it is OK,,,for this money 👍
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
