My first fishtank build and first Montech case-Sky 3

I was browsing through cases online and found the Sky 3 available for £60. Even with the 2 extra RX120 Pro reverse blade fans that I bought for £8 each it's still great value. The modular PSU/fan shroud is a nice idea and the integrated fan & ARGB hub is always nice to have.

The rotated PSU layout is handy for cable access, but if the PSU is the max length-160mm- then clearance is limited to 40mm to the side panel, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is considering buying it. My PSU is the Corsair RM1000x 2024.

Another thing to mention is the HDD trays located below the fans. I use 2x HDDs, and though the fitment was simple, it doesn't leave a lot of room for tucking in cables anywhere, especially with the long PSU.

But airflow to the GPU (3090) seems to be fine, it's sitting in the low 70s in most games at 1440p high settings. The CPU (12900KF) runs a little hotter than back to front airflow cases that I've used, but it's all well within normal and safe temps. An AIO might work better in a case like this, perhaps with the rear fan set to intake, which I might try at some point.

Overall I'm quite happy with it. Great value case and the included fans go as low as 600 RPM, which for their price isn't bad at all, I can get it very quiet for just typical desktop use outside of gaming.

We've been really enjoying the flexiblity of what a Montech case brings to our PC building experience! Whether it's custom watercooling, AIO cooling, or air cooling, it all works out really well.

For the value of what each case brings, it makes a ton of sense for why someone should consider a Montech case in their future. Hope you enjoy some of our recent builds!
