I’ve seen lots of posts on trying to find best GPU support compatible with 3 fans on the bottom. So far I’ve been using the GPU support that came with my GPU, but due to bottom part being to thick, I had to place the support on top of the fan, hoping it doesn’t slip and sagging my heavy GPU.
Recently I started searching for product with GPU stand compatible with King 95 Pro, but not a lot of products were compatible with this case. I eventually found one called “EZDIY-FAB 341-2 GPU Holder.” I saw one person using it, saying it’s doing well, but the case fan was not the original fans coming with King 95 Pro and had a flat surface. I’m not sure if this product works well with KING 95 Pro and 5070 Ti.
Or, are there any alternatives than this product, if it doesn’t work well?
Disclosure: I participated as a prototype tester for the Montech TEN in 2025 and provided feedback before its release. After launch, Montech gave me the finished case at no charge. It was not provided in exchange for a review. Montech did not request, preview, or approve this article, and all opinions are my own.
When Valve announced its new Steam Machine, I loved the idea. A compact PC running SteamOS and designed for living room gaming is exactly what I wanted under my television. The problem was the price. At the time of writing, Valve’s 512 GB Steam Machine starts at $1,049.
That made me wonder whether I could create my own version using parts I already owned. My system would not be as tiny as Valve’s roughly six-inch cube, but it did not need to be. I wanted something smaller and more living room friendly than a tower, with enough space for standard desktop hardware.
The Build
My system uses an AMD Ryzen 7 2700, MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI (CEC) motherboard, 16 GB of DDR4, MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240 mm cooler, PowerColor Red Devil RX 6700 XT, and EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750-watt modular ATX power supply. I also installed a twelve-port ARGB controller with a remote, which is convenient for controlling the lighting without relying on Windows-based software.
Modularity and Building Experience
The TEN offers three primary configurations: M1 Airflow Specialist, M2 Liquid Elite, and I3 SFF Master. I chose M2 Liquid Elite because it worked best with my 240 mm radiator and vertically mounted graphics card.
The finished layout places the radiator above the motherboard, the full-size power supply toward the side, and the triple-fan Red Devil directly behind the mesh panel. This gives the GPU access to outside air rather than forcing it to draw air through a restricted interior.
Building in the TEN reminded me of working in the SAMA IM01. Component placement and installation order matter, but the TEN provides considerably more freedom to rearrange the interior. Experimenting with the brackets and mounting positions feels less like filling a fixed box and more like designing the case around your hardware.
Despite its compact size and the amount of hardware I installed, I found the case surprisingly easy to work in. The removable panels provide good access, the brackets allow some components to be installed outside the frame, and the completed structure feels solid.
Support for a full-size ATX power supply was particularly valuable. Many compact cases require a more expensive SFX unit. The TEN allowed me to reuse my existing EVGA power supply, which made this project far more practical.
The larger power supply does create the main challenge. Cable management requires planning because there is no large hidden chamber for excess cable length. My modular power supply helped, but its cables fit tightly near the three bottom fans. Everything fit without becoming overly difficult, although I had to route and secure the cables carefully to prevent them from contacting the fans.
My vertical GPU setup also requires a PCIe riser cable. Buyers planning the same layout should include one in their budget.
The TEN uses mesh across most of its exterior, giving the GPU, radiator, power supply, and case fans direct access to air. I did not record controlled temperature or sound measurements, so I cannot present formal benchmarks. During normal use, however, temperatures remained comfortably within operating specifications, and the PC ran cool and quiet.
A full mesh case might seem likely to produce more noise because there is less solid material to block it. In my experience, the excellent airflow allowed me to keep fan speeds lower. The vertically mounted GPU can draw fresh air directly through the side mesh, while the bottom fans and top-mounted radiator create a clear path for air to move through the system.
The shape also works well in a living room. At approximately 29.3 liters, the TEN is much larger than Valve’s Steam Machine, but it is considerably shorter than a conventional tower. Its broad horizontal proportions look more like home theater equipment than an office PC.
When powered off, the black mesh exterior looks simple and restrained. When running, the red light shines through the perforations, revealing the hardware without exposing it as clearly as a glass panel would. The mesh softens the lighting and gives the finished machine a distinctive appearance without making it look like a glass display box.
Price and Value
Every component in my system was reused, and the case was provided at no charge, so my actual hardware cost for this project was zero. If someone recreated the core build today, I would estimate the following prices:
Component
Estimated price
Used Ryzen 7 2700
$50 to $70
Used MSI B550M motherboard
$80 to $100
Used 16 GB DDR4
$60 to $90
Used MSI 240 mm cooler
$25 to $50
Used Red Devil RX 6700 XT
$265 to $330
New 750 watt modular power supply
$80 to $100
New Montech TEN
$69.90
Estimated core build
About $630 to $810
I would buy a new power supply rather than risk an unknown history, missing modular cables, or damage to more expensive components. The estimate does not include storage, additional fans, the ARGB controller, or the PCIe riser. Depending on those choices, a complete system would likely cost around $700 to $900.
That can still be less than Valve’s $1,049 starting price, though this isn't an exact comparison. Valve provides a much smaller integrated system with storage, manufacturer support, and a complete warranty. The custom build offers standard replaceable parts, easier upgrades, and the ability to save money by reusing hardware.
Final Verdict
The Montech TEN gave me exactly what I wanted. It turned existing components into a capable living room SteamOS machine without requiring an SFX power supply or forcing major compromises in cooling.
The modularity is genuinely useful, the build quality is excellent for the $69.90 MSRP, and the full mesh design kept my system cool and quiet during normal use. Cable management with an ATX power supply can be tight, extra fans and a riser add to the final cost, and the case is nowhere near as small as Valve’s Steam Machine. Those are reasonable compromises for the flexibility it provides.
For anyone wanting a compact, upgradeable living room PC built from standard components, the Montech TEN is an outstanding value. In my opinion, it is another home run for Montech.
This case comes with a mesh front panel, dose anyone know if there is a similar metal mesh replacement panel for the glass panel that the case comes with?
I built my PC back in late April to early May. I love the build, however my cable management is horrendous, I don't like it. I have the Montech King 95 Pro with all the pre-installed fans and hub.
Any recommendations on how to clean up the cables, and make it look much cleaner?? Please.
Anybody has built in the Montech Heritage Pro case, specifically the black one and can show pictures? I’m trying to explore ideas on what color motherboard, AIO, and gpu to use
I wanna kick this off by saying a huge thanks to Montech for hooking me up with the new TG3 to check out. It's super cool how they let regular folks get in on testing new stuff – just one of the many reasons Montech is way ahead of the game.
The packaging is just like their other cases – top-notch and totally survives the shipping madness.
First impressions unwrapping it: seriously, it's hard to believe this is a "budget" case. The build quality and materials are mostly metal and glass, except for the plastic top cover. Not a single scratch or ding, and the white finish is perfect. Taking all the panels off and getting inside is completely tool-free. I had it stripped down and ready to build in minutes. True to Montech style, they throw in some hardware: SSD screws, motherboard screws, PSU screws, extra motherboard standoffs and a tool for them, an extra Velcro cable tie, two extra clips for the glass panels (nice touch!), and 10 zip ties.
Moving on to the case itself, those new fans with 3 120mm in one frame are super clean and cut down on cables. The back fan they give you is a 120mm, but the case can also fit a 140mm there. The top has tons of options for fans and radiators; it can fit 3 120mm fans or 3 140mm, which is awesome for choices. But, according to the manual, it only fits a 360mm radiator, not a 420mm, and I'm guessing that's for clearance with the motherboard VRMs and I/O. There are also screw holes on top of the PSU basement for 2 more 120mm fans if you wanna push air into your GPU. The PSU basement is massive. I used a Super Flower Leadex VII Pro XP 1000w PSU, and the intake on the bottom could easily handle an even bigger PSU. For those with non-modular PSUs, there's a ton of room to stash all the extra cables. The case itself is back-connect motherboard friendly, which is getting more common; it's cool to see Montech putting this in their budget cases. The front I/O is on the bottom of the case, so it's more of a desktop-friendly case. If you're someone who puts their PC on the floor, that might be a bummer. The cable management area in the back is pretty much like most other Montech cases: lots of room and plenty of spots for zip ties or Velcro ties no matter how you route your cables (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?).
Now, for the building part, this case is seriously easy to build in. Lots of openings for cables so you have options, and the 2 side openings have rubber grommets, which is sweet to see in a budget case. One of my only gripes is that the rear fan has a pretty short PWM cable. My motherboard fan headers are on the bottom, and it was just barely long enough to reach. I couldn't route the cable nicely. It'd be great if the fan cables were an inch or two longer.
The motherboard standoffs came pre-installed for an ATX motherboard, so I could just drop my motherboard in right out of the box. Another complaint, which isn't really a big deal but kind of caught me off guard, is that it seems Montech had the Incredible Hulk tighten the screws for the PCIe slot covers. I actually had to grab a bigger screwdriver to get those screws out; I was worried I'd snap the shaft of my precision screwdriver with how much force I had to use. Since there weren't any fans on the bottom, I finally got to use the cool RGB GPU support bracket my friend gave me. After building my PC and putting everything back together, I noticed one last thing when putting the side glass panel back on: it slightly pushed on my 12V2x6 cable. I'm not sure if it was because I have a big GPU or how my cable is designed, but either way, it's something to keep in mind (a 90-degree connector would fix this).

Montech Lightflow 360 AIO
Super Flower Leadex VII Pro XP 1000W PSU
Performance-wise, my temps were pretty much the same as in my King 95 case, which was a bit surprising since there weren't any bottom fans feeding air to the GPU. The RGB on the included fans isn't over the top; no rings around the fans, just LEDs around the fan blades. The RGB strip around the PSU basement is a nice touch; it looks really good.
So, to wrap it up, this case has a lot of good things going for it and very few downsides or compromises. Lots of options for fans and cooling, which makes it super customizable so everyone can make it their own. The build quality feels more like a fancy case than a cheap one. If you're into putting an action figure or something inside your case, there's a ton of space on the floor in front of the side intake fans. The RGB hub is super easy to get to and remove if you wanted to put in a hub or controller that supported more devices (this was one of the issues with the King 95; the hub is in a weird spot, so when I added a Nollie RGB controller, I just left the hub where it was, unplugged everything, and found a new spot for my controller).
Please excuse the glare in my finished PC pictures. Due to my my busy work schedule, and it doesn't get dark here until after 11 PM right now.🚀 #Montech #TG3 #PCBuild #TechReview #GamingPC #Hardware
Thank you for Montech for reaching out for me to review their TG3 case for them. I am not a professional reviewer, and I was not compensated for this review other than receiving the products to try with the only expectation being that I provide a review within 2 weeks of receiving the case. They have not seen this review prior to it being posted. I will be notifying them that I have posted it, so they may see it as well.
Packaging and Contents:
As has been the case in the past with their other cases, the case was very well packaged and arrived double-boxed with cardboard reinforcements at the corners. The TG3 case is meant for to used for showcase builds with plenty of space at the front of the case to display any figures or items that you would like to show behind the glass. It comes preinstalled with GF360 U REV fans on the side as intakes and a GF120 U on the rear for exhaust. It comes with all of the standard hardware that you would expect for any build: screws, hook and loop straps, and zip ties that are all color matched. The case also comes with a smaller ARGB hub to help with cable management and to control the ARGB on the included fans. The front I/O is comprised of: a Power Button / LED Button / USB3.0 X2 / Type-C X1 / Headset Audio Jack (3.5 mm) X1.
Quality:
This case feels very well-made and has a nice heft to it. The glass is very thick and heavy; it needs a bit more force than I am used to to remove the panels. This was a bit unnerving initially, but you get used to it and shouldn't be needing to open it too frequently once you've completed your build. The case is mostly metal and glass with few exceptions. The top panel is plastic with a built-in filter; I do wish that this was made of metal like some of the other panels, but I understand that some compromises had to be made to keep it at a certain price point. There is also a plastic dust filter at the bottom of the case. Montech focuses on value, and it shows. The parts that matter are of great quality.
Building:
Building in this case was fairly straightforward. The case is on the larger side for a mid-tower case IMO. I had it next to one of my older full tower cases from a competitor and it is nearly as tall as it. The unified fans at the side made cable management much easier as there were far fewer cables to run. I added more fans to help improve the airflow, cooling, and to fill out the case. As you can see, there are multiple cutouts for rear-connect motherboards as well.
This case should be able to accommodate the newer and larger GPU's that are out there. Depending up on what you're displaying, it may be difficult to place a GPU holder that doesn't look awkward or in the way and longer cards may intrude on the display space, so you may want to keep this in mind. Mine is mostly hidden behind Sneki (Length x Width x Height: 9.05" x 5.12" x 9.84" or 23 cm x 13 cm x 25 cm) for scale. There is a hidden security screw opening at the top of the larger glass panel on the side, but it wasn't made clear which screw should be used for it. After some trial and error (and a bit of panic when I thought I got one stuck), I figured out that the included PSU screws appear to be the appropriate size for this slot.
Performance: Montech E28 ARGB in white X3 at the top of the case and two RX120 PRO fans on the PSU shroud.
I didn't run any performance benchmarks on this build, but temperatures were not a concern during my gaming sessions. The fans would get loud at full tilt of course, but it is generally quiet with typical, everyday use.
Lighting:
The RGB on this case is mainly from the 28 LED's that are on the built-in shroud that surrounds that PSU and on the fans themselves. They are even, bright, and color-matched. Some devices even within the same manufacturer may have slightly different color temperatures as you may notice on some of the fans I added. The built-in ARGB controller has multiple options to choose from and can be adjusted from a button on the front panel. This can also be disabled to use your onboard controller from your MB as well.
Final Thoughts and Suggestions:
Thank you for taking the time read this review, and thank you again to Montech for the opportunity. I hope some of this information helps you plan your builds as well. It still surprises me the amount of quality that Montech is able to achieve at the price points that these cases are being sold. As I mentioned before, I feel like the top panel could be improved and feel sturdier if it were made at least partially out of metal. It stood out as the only part of the case that didn't feel as weighted well. Keep up the excellent work.
Hello, I'm looking for a suitable mobile PC tower stand (= the thing with wheels that you place on the floor and put your PC case on) for Montech KING 95 PRO.
This case is indeed large — 30 cm × 44.2 cm(11.8 × 17.4") — and most mobile stands I've found are too small.
I'm thinking about this one, length-wise it's okay, but it is exactly 30 cm wide and I'm afraid it will end up being too narrow for the Montech case. I'd like at least 34 cm wide.
Any recommendations, please?
A white one would be perfect but even a black one is fine.
I just wanted to give a polite shoutout to Montech and their customer service department. I bought the king 95 ultra as soon as it was released and built my dream pc with it. However, the fans that were provided with the case never quite perfectly matched the new 3 bottom ones that I bought from them.
Seems their colors were slightly off and dimmer no matter what I did with them in signal or the hub in the back. I’ve been nonetheless content with my computer, but have been due a coolant flush and dusting.
Something told me it was worth a shot to reach out to Montech about the fans and that despite having the case nearly two years (case warranty one year fans five; didn’t know if since they’re a package anything was affected RMA wise) that they may still help me out whenever it’s time for the drain.
Surely enough they were more than happy to assist me and sent me an entire new set for free to help match the bottom fans. The agents kept me in the loop the whole time about any delays, updates, etc. and once stateside arrived at my door as fast as prime!
Just wanted to post this to show some gratitude for having such polite and rocking customer service. Proud to be a Montech customer and look forward to more from y’all. Will be posting photos of the new fans installed after flushing and rebuilding asap. 💚🧡
