A Closer Look - Inside

To access the insides, simply remove the two thumb screws holding each panel in place. Inspecting the interior layout, it becomes apparent that Montech is not aiming to re-invent the framing of a good ATX chassis, but instead goes with a trusted and true setup we have seen in a few other cases as well. This includes a solid metal shroud with a cutout in the front to allow for a thick radiator to be installed—mostly because the front panel is so deep it can easily house any fans. A single HDD tray has been placed on the shroud out of the box as well.


Taking a look at the backside of the motherboard tray, why that single tray can be found inside becomes apparent. Montech placed a fully functional ARGB controller and fan-hub PCB where the drive would be. While this is fine, I managed to move the PCB to a more advantageous position so that I could actually place that second HDD tray here as well. Interestingly enough, even though the marketing materials for the chassis show multiple Velcro strips, our sample only came with a single piece, which is disappointing.


Underneath the shroud is a basic HDD cage, which we have also come across before. I am not a fan of the tray personally as the two tabs to pull it out don't make it easy to do so. You may remove the whole cage as there is a secondary HDD mounting position for either a 2.5" or 3.5" drive on top of it. In the front, you can clearly see the two 200 mm fans, with the bottom one also pushing some cool air underneath the shroud to cool your storage.


The PSU bay underneath the shroud is pretty straightforward, with small foam tips to keep the unit in place. Above that are the seven expansion slots and removable covers, with a 120 mm RGB exhaust fan in the very top. Placement of the fan may be adjusted to align it with your installed air cooler.


A quick look at the ceiling reveals nothing out of the ordinary with the exception of a little lip on the motherboard side, which is due to how the I/O on top has been arranged.


All the cables within the chassis are of the default variety and sleeved black. Thanks to the universal ARGB and fan hub, you should have no issues expanding both the cooling as well as any lighting elements.
