Pros: Watched a review and bought 2 of these. Just finished the first build (see photos). Very quiet machine, but still have to stress test. Push button rgb controls on the front panel and then trying to use Precision X-1 (EVGA) to get it to match, then the AIO from NZXT. So 2 software programs and a hardwire selection button on the case. The reverse fans are a great idea, I see a few companies copying this engineering trick, not sure if Montech was the first to come up with it.

Cons: Just one, I hope Montech comes up with a case specific vertical gpu mount bracket for this. I have a special order coming from overseas that sits on top of the fans, using the fan mount bolts to secure the vertical bracket. Will try to update this post if it works. I have 4 different vertical mounts and the Phanteks premium come close to working. The other 2 Phanteks and the 1 LIan Li will not work. They are too close to the glass. The horizontal support peg was a nice gesture, however with the fans in the floor you are limited and it will not work with any EVGA 3080/3090/and the TI for each, because the gpu's are curved on the bottom. A grated floor over the fans would open up more opportunties for horizontal support (like the Hyte Y60). Large slots to let airflow up, but give an option for a usable surface.

Overall Review: With the case and fans for 149.00, you can't beat it. Of course I paid a heavy price in shipping to Alaska to get them here and NewEgg needs to be more competitive in this area, because if these ever go to your competitor, then that would be free shipping and although I like NewEgg, I had to buy 2 cases to get reduced shipping. This last comment is neither a pro/con, I know where I live and it is the price we pay up here.

Pros: Clean cable management

Cons: It has been 7 months in operations now and this morning was a long "click/pop" while using the PC for work (basically no high demands on the system). Check power cord for power and it was good, then started the RMA process with Seasonic and now I see this product may not be carried any longer. So we will wait and see.

Overall Review: To early to tell, I know this is a "Platnium" PSU, so was not expecting this.

Pros: Build in this case before and love Storage, Storage and Storage (can be your gaming PC and a NAS) The case has been around forever, Fractal is obvious doing something right for this case to be still available for this long Best case that still offers the optical drive option...yes, people still have requests for this (probably burning CDs/DVDs to their NAS HDDs

Cons: This is the most important negative; if your VRM area is extra tall, you CANNOT fit a 280 AIO in the top position, the assembly will hit the VRM tower and you are about 3/8" from the holes to align I am a builder, so I rarely complain about price, but this is over priced for this case Front fans are blocked with the cover that closes, if you run your PC with the door open, you can get better thermals. Check the YouTubers (Gamer's Nexus...etc) the popular ones have reviewed this case.

Overall Review: Yes, this is my 2nd or 3rd build in this case for people, Fractal has put a lot of options in this case. Only hiccup with this build is have to get a 240 AIO and spent money for nothing with buying the 280. But I will use it on another build or sell it.

Pros: Love the case, as I have built 2 PC's in them so far. Easy to work on, better than most cases for cable management and the inside cover with screws holding it closed is excellent, not like some of the competition that relies on a magnet

Cons: Now this is about to sound trivial, but when you sell PC's this will be an annoying item I will have to deal with or mark down my price to sell it. And that is the RGB defaults back to the bluish white color ever time the machine hibernates or is turned off and back on. I cannot sell this PC with this problem, no PC Gamer is going to want to set up their rgb every time they turn the machine on or come back and wake up the PC after it hibernates.

Overall Review: Only reason this is not a 1-egg is due to the design. Would be nice for Montech to design (sell separately) a GPU horizontal and vertical support brackets. Horizontal should be built into the case very easily with a stainless steel rod on the back wall and I would pay more for this case for that option. Vertical mount in the photo was a competitors bracket. For anyone wanting to do this, make sure you get a "solid" vertical mount gpu bracket as you will not be able to shim it with foam blocks due to the fans. I mean you could do it, but it will probably look tacky. Montech Support Rep: if you are reading this, I already emailed you directly for a solution and I do need a solution or an RMA authorization, I will not sell this to anyone with this problem. Or if you know what is causing this issue, send the new parts and I'll change it. Thanks

Pros: - I am typically a MSI buyer, so I know the Bios outlay and it's pretty simple to navigate - Easy install, what the highest rated 300 series (z390) motherboard that NewEgg has sold, but even then only 65% gave it a 5 egg (and this is one of the better boards?!) - It came from the far east and was packed well - great communication with the seller before we processed the RMA - Also some added items that were not listed on NewEgg were included (spare nvme screw and a 90 degree USB 3.0 adapter)...see CONS for missing items - While the RMA was being processed, I decided to create a MSI support ticket in case the seller thought I did not do everything that I could. MSI Tech Support did NOT disappoint, I have always had great support when I needed it (and I do not need it much). They also concluded the nvme's cards are "plug-n-play", they should show up immediately. For kicks I decided to throw the second nvme in the m.2-2 slot and then see if I could set up RAID. Sadly the m.2-1 was still dead, but the m.2-2 showed up in bios, but as most people know, that location goes through the chipset and is slower.

Cons: - well let's start off with the why it is going back: The primary m.2 slot, appears to be dead. Bios did not show the drive present and I played around with all the known quick fixes in bios changing this and that setting. Even spent 2 days on forums and Youtube seeing if I missed something, (I did not want to send it back because it took so long to get the first one). - A couple "trivial" items that would not affect my rating if these were the only things - So I received some nice extras (see Pros), but the driver media was missing, the SLI bridge missing, and a miscellaneous MSI item. None of which I needed for the build; my point is "attention to detail". This mobo is just shy of 400 dollars and we are now up to 700 series chipsets...so this is a pretty pricey 390 mobo in my opinion

Overall Review: this would have been a 5 egg rating if the m.2-1 slot was functional. As I said the extra stuff they thru in out-weighed the missing items and also I do not even use the drive media that comes with, I just go right to the websites. The frustrating part there is no real manufacturer that stands above the rest when it comes to the 300 series and the only reason I went back in technology to to build an older inexpensive custom build to target the consumer base that can't afford these new mobos and cpu's. During this research for this build, even the Godlike board has even lower ratings than this one. You would think with a premium price, comes premium quality. So now that it is 2023 and this rating is probably the most recent in over a year, anyone reading this can decide what they would have rated it at. But sales for this, the 400 and 500 will just keep going down. I would probably not go this far back in technology again to make a less expensive PC. I probably should have found a good 500 series chipset. MSI Support: If you are reading this, I only need one thing from MSI, please tell me the very best...rock solid intel chipset/motherboard you ever manufactured in recent years. I am still staying away from 700 serious until their is more reviews out there and the bugs get worked out. . Thank you

Pros: variable speed is exactly what every liquid cooling builder should have. I had some PromoChill liquid that was foaming up the system really bad. Mostly because the pump was at full speed. So on initial fill I had this item control the pump speed and no foaming on the second refill

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great little device to have in your computer tools kit
