The Montech Sky Two GX may initially remind one of the original from 2022. That case managed to impress with its value, which Montech - two years in - managed to further undercut by offering the Sky Two GX for an excellent $90. While that is likely attributable to the singular glass panel and one less fan, Montech did not simply reutilize the body of the chassis, but actively improved it as well. It is really refreshing to see a brand take feedback to heart as most of the issues we mentioned when reviewing the Sky Two have been addressed in the GX update.

In fact, the list of improvements is actually quite long. There is the taller internal body for better AIO support, more storage options and better HDD cages. But on top of that the Sky Two GX also managed to improve some smaller details by switching from classic screws to thumb screws for the expansion slots and ensuring the USB-C port is appropriately integrated with the IO section at the top. And, even with the new elements, like the hinged glass panel, Montech manages to impress with a clean, embedded handle, for example.

While there are a few cost-cutting aspects, like the PCB that no longer allows the user to utilize the reset button to control RGB without the need for any software, or by ditching the pre-installed fan in the rear, none of those feel out of place. These days, nearly every motherboard, regardless of price point, will feature a header for illumination control, and you get the benefit of six vs. five headers on the PCB for both ARGB and PWM. And, even though there are only three pre-installed fans, these are 140 mm in size, and you do end up getting to enjoy the cost savings of all this with the very competitive price point. That said, There are still a few small things that Montech could still improve - with the oddest being the use of a plastic twist lock to keep the side panel in place. Such a mechanic has long been eliminated by the industry as a whole, so it is a bit weird to see it resurface with the Sky Two GX. Then there is the intentional lack of a black strip across the top of the case, which is meant to allow you to show off your AIO as much as possible, but some may - purely subjectively - find it a bit distracting. The oversight with the HDD screws is luckily an easy fix and as such no real dealbreaker. Montech also mentioned that they will provide new screws to anyone who asks for them with proof of purchase.

With all that said, you once again get a great case for a very competitive price, with all the usual fixings you would expect from a modern mid-tower chassis. Yes, there are no more unique colors, but at $90, the Montech Sky Two GX has plenty of subtle aspects to set it apart in the crowded market segment.
