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.

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.

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.

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.

Unit is very nice looking, decent quality and look. Swing out glass panel is very neat and good looking. Most things assembled well, lots of extra screw in case you loose one. Very nice lay out, easy to wire. My biggest complaints are the fans are not 4 pin PWM, they are the old molex type fans, so they can not be monitored or controlled by the motherboard. My PSU did not even come with the molex modular cable, so need to pay extra for that. Also the LEDS are molex type. I knew they LEDs were not ARGB, but I assumed that they could be controlled by the motherboard without the assigned, so the 3 wire instead of the 4 wire. But they are both just molex. The LEDs fine, but real bummer that the fans themselves are not controlled, means the unit is going to be a lot noisier than it needs to be. So the fans are basically throw away, making the unit not that cheap any more. Also, putting in a 650W ATX power supply with the 3/12 drie craddle is impossible, and the drive bay could have been slid a little and it would have bee fine. As is It just lays in the bottom unmounted.

This case is the greatest case when you're making a budget build because it comes with all the fans which are not controllable but they are quiet and keep the PC cooler than you'd expect, it's lightweight but my biggest gripe is the stock fans, the wires for them are like a rats nest and there is not a "great" way to tidy them up but when you're just trying to throw together a PC for as little money as possible this is your best bet and is a great case to build onto i highly recommend this over buying a 150$ case

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.

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.

I was building another computer for a project and needed an inexpensive case that offered good cooling. I wasn't looking for anything flashy—I just wanted something with decent ventilation that would keep my hardware cool. I decided on the Montech X3 Mesh because it looked like it had great airflow, and I liked that it came with six pre-installed fans that were already wired. The RGB lighting wasn't really a selling point for me, but it's a nice bonus if you're into that. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the included fans. Usually, budget cases include fans that are just "good enough." I was pleasantly surprised. They move a lot of air, and the airflow through the case is excellent. My GPU runs at full load 24/7, and these fans do a great job of pushing fresh air across the card. Temperatures have stayed very reasonable, and the cooling performance has exceeded my expectations for a case in this price range. The only real complaint I have is the hardware. All of the screws come mixed together in a single bag with no labels, so you have to sort through them yourself before you can start building. It's not a huge deal, but it would have been nice if they were separated or labeled. I also found that a few of the motherboard screws were a little tight going into the standoffs. Another minor annoyance was that when I tried to remove or adjust a couple of the motherboard standoffs, the entire standoff unscrewed from the case instead of just the screw coming out. It wasn't a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of during assembly. Those are really minor issues compared to everything the case gets right. Once the build was complete, I was very happy with it. The airflow is excellent, the included fans perform far better than I expected, and the overall value for the money is outstanding. I'd definitely buy this case again for another budget build.
