A Closer Look - Outside


Out of the box, the Montech Sky Two combines two elements we have seen with other cases. On one hand it employs two glass panels so you may view your hardware from two angles - much like the Lian Li O series, but it also splits glass and mesh - similar to NZXT H series cases. Montech has even taken some inspiration from the O series by placing a prominent plaque on the interior with its brand on it.


Looking at the front of the Sky Two, you can clearly see the interior through the clean, black framed glass panel. The mesh component below is actually gray, while the rest of the enclosure is black. This is inconsistent with the other two color options Montech offers: the white variant is all white, while their blue option is also all blue. In the rear, everything is where you would expect to see it for an ATX mid-tower chassis, with the PSU on the bottom of the chassis.


The main side panel offers the same split between glass and mesh, while also continuing the same color scheme. The glass is held in place by two thumb screws. If you look closely, you can also see a black plastic frame to which the front panel glass is glued. While this is fine, that noticeable plastic component does go against what one could consider "high-end." Other brands, which offer similar case styles manage to utilize slimmer & sturdier metal frames to hold the front panel in place instead. The opposite side panel is made of steel and features a well placed vent, which is equipped with a magnetic dust filter.


Starting at the bottom, the PSU bay sports two sets of mounting holes. Above that are the seven horizontal expansion slots, which are protected by reusable covers. As there are no dividing elements between these you should be able to use universal horizontal GPU mounting kits with the Sky Two. In the very top, there is a 120 mm exhaust fan, which is also ARGB equipped. As it is mounted on elongated cutouts, you may adjust its height to best suit your cooling needs, or give you even more room for ceiling mounted liquid cooling than what the Sky Two provides in it's default configuration.


Speaking of the top, here you will find another fine perforated metal mesh cover under which there is a mounting bracket for up to three 120 mm fans or a 360 mm liquid cooling setup. Next to all this, there is the IO panel, which provides the usual mix of ports for a modern enclosure of this price point, made up of two USB 3.0, audio in/out plugs and a single USB-C. Montech has also re-purposed the reset button to act as an LED toggle switch.


On the underside, there are two placement possibilities for the HDD cage underneath the shroud, judging by the mounting cut-outs on the floor of the chassis. Lastly, there is an easily removable dust filter which may be pulled out the back of the case for easy cleaning.
