Review System

Assembly

Installing the motherboard is done by traditional means using spacers and screws. The full-size ATX unit lines up well with the grommet covered openings on the right edge, and still provides plenty of room above the top for cable management as well. Installing the inverse fan on the floor has to be done before adding the GPU using the provided screws. Its cables are routed though one of the openings in the shroud, away from view.


Adding the graphics card of your choice is easily done by removing the covers and screwing it down. There is lots of room for long units and the two fans on the side don't interfere with the device either.


Adding an SSD using one of the plates may easily be done outside of the confines of the system but requires use of screws and appropriate tools. Once filled, you may simply put it back unto the backside of the motherboard tray and secure it with the thumb screw.


To include a 3.5" storage device, you first have to pull out the cage from underneath the shroud. If a 2.5" unit is involved, that needs to be secured first, before popping in a classic hard drive. Both of these are held in place by screws and as such require a screwdriver as well. Once filled you may put the whole cage back into one of the two possible positions where it is secured by a thumb screw.


Adding a 360 mm AIO was surprisingly easy. There is lots of room in terms of length and the unit perfectly clears the top edge of the motherboard, but does block you from attaching anything to that area of the motherboard. This is due to the fact that the AIO unit tugs in behind the tall board heatsink. If Montech would have offset the mounting holes in the top of the case to be towards the glass side panel, it would make things a lot easier and could have opened up the potential for the Sky Two to easily hold even thick liquid cooling assemblies in the ceiling.


Installing the PSU is achieved by sliding it underneath the shroud and securing it with screws to the chassis frame. There is plenty of room, so you should have no issue utilizing a large unit powerful enough for a potent system.

Finished Looks

With everything installed and the system turned on, the Montech Sky Two looks quite nice. The four ARGB fans light up the system beautifully and the fact that there are two of them on the side gives that secondary frontal window some additional visual consistency. A blue LED in the top of the chassis also lights up to let you know the system is powered on.


You can clearly see all the hardware though the glass panels, and thanks to the clean interior you won't have to feel shy about doing so either. It will be interesting to see if Montech will offer the Sky Two with a mesh front in the future, for those who really want all the cooling potential possible. In the rear everything is where you would expect to see it in a modern chassis.

As there is a built-in ARGB controller, you may cycle through several multi- and single-color animations as well as several solid colors. While this works perfectly fine, the number of hues is a bit low with just five to pick from. If you are looking for alternative colors, you will have to utilize motherboard control instead.
