Did they hide the GearSeekers King 95 from all other youtubers? I didn't see anyone else cover it except for Nick. 🤔

[@Star_Gazing_Coffee_Lover]

@@unsivilaudio WHO?

[@PrejudicePain]

I was wondering if Gamers Nexus will do a review of the Lian Li SUP01 when it releases?

[@Niclord7]

Hoping for the king 95 mega pro to come out soon. Seems they did hear the complaints about the dust filter as it now seems to come out at the front, not the rear.

[@cnvdh3514]

Montech has quietly become the budget king. Absolutely love the Sky Two

[@MistakenMedia087]

Same, it's a great case, moves tons of air, and is quiet.

[@moldyshishkabob]

"Quietly", haha Can certainly agree, too! I can't help but pick their cases whenever brainstorming new builds for friends as of late.

[@veryrudeguy]

You meant to say King Mega Pro

[@thrashstronaut]

Got my partner some of the RGB fans that are in the Sky Two and they were dirt cheap and moved a surprisingly good amount of air. Was really impressed for the price.

[@SkylineGamingStudios]

Sky Two is an awesome case, I use a lot of montech cases in our builds

[@jonathanmelton5756]

I literally just helped my cousin build a computer over memorial Day and when we were case shopping I took the back off of that case and saw the " molex centipede" and said no way we're dealing with that nonsense especially if you want to use this case for the long-term and went with a different model. I'm so glad to see that they're updating it! Love montech!

[@Standoffmuffin]

Yep, molex is just asking for problems. It's a good to avoid at all cost.

[@Cook_A_Burra]

Manowar profile pic. Good taste.

[@ShroudedWolf51]

I'm not sure how that justifies it that much, honestly. Since if the fans end up being crap, then you're overpaying for fans you don't need and then need to buy proper fans separately to replace the crap ones.

[@N0strapapas]

@@ShroudedWolf51 it cost me like $20 each for proper fans the last time I built a new system, so if they're at least mediocre then it's totally worth it.

[@ocha-time]

Their fans are just like every other included fan, junky and needing to be replaced within a year max, but at least you get 'em to start with

[@jessevelazquez7088]

[@StrelitziaVA]

the sky 3 and the HS01 are the most interesting to me, I really like the aesthetic of the sunken in fans and hopefully the height off of the table won't affect the air intake too much

[@Azyrion_]

I'm running a budget m-ATX build and their Air 100 is literally the best price to performance case I've seen anywhere, ~$50 for a mesh front panel case with 4 pre-installed argb fans is insane.

[@shockedtilldummy2509]

@@ACE112ACE112 Definitely not the same size! Air100 is m-atx

[@BlearyLine7]

Montech might be my favourite case company, because it feels like they just value the same stuff as I do. Like their cheaper cases come with plenty of fans and have good airflow - exactly what you need. It feels like they cut the corners in areas that aren't going to matter for people who're looking for a £60 case, and they know that people who're paying £60 for a case probably don't want to have to spend another £20 on fans, they give you what you need.

[@techyescity]

Was cool seeing you on the floor. Enjoy the rest of your time in taiwan. P.s. thanks for the intro.

[@RafitoOoO]

The HS01 looks amazing with everything sunken, including the motherboard. Loved the design.

[@SkywardKing]

That Montech XR in white is so simple and clean! Its pretty enough to be a luxury build case and no one would think it doesnt belong.

[@danc4046]

For the HS01 dual chamber case with sunk in fans and such, no need to cut a whole in the top panel, just make it easy to pop off, flip the switch, then pop it back on.

[@coolcat23]

Agreed. Also, I hope it will be possible to mount the power supply so that its fan can suck in air from the side of the case and can exhaust to the top of the case. In this orientation its switch won't be accessible but I don't see the disadvantage of just pulling the plug at the back.

[@nsm8858]

Whatever happened to the Open Frame case/chassis they previewed last year. At this point is the concept dead? On their subreddit they were putting promises on a tentative release date but nothing happened

[@GamersNexus]

The small one? Good question. Will ask.

[@paxvesania2008]

The HS01 looks clean af. I might get one for future build.

[@lucidnonsense942]

I love the 1950s retro case. I would totally shove a valve preamp in it for completion.

[@zivzulander]

Love when Steve calls out the King 95 "Mega" naming with the Montech guy right there 😁

[@thelegendaryklobb2879]

That was so funny. Poor guy got the GN roast straight from the source, live and unfiltered

[@PaulC001]

Montech is my fav case to build in right now. so far i haven't had any real issues with them and the price is right. i've built 4 boxes using the AIR 903 and added my own RGB when someone wants it. i've even done a little simple paint work on one that turned out really nice. great price for a good case. paint the front mesh some wild color, they look great that way. i used day-glow green with dim blue RGB fans on the white variant and the buyer loved it.

[@reptilez13]

Glad to see Montech covered, also curious is Musetex ever at Computex/other events? Bought a case for my sons PC for cheap and it was great, hinged side panel, mesh front, etc.

[@Loki_Firegod]

I gotta say, I am thinking about (or rather, preparing to prepare to) building a new system towards the end of this year. I have a few current cases in mind for that. Due to my desk layout, it will have to be a dual chamber layout OR a standard layout with a top-mounted PSU (which are rare these days). Most of the cases I'm considering are priced upwards of 150 bucks, some even above 200 which I find a bit much. So, Montech offering a bunch of interesting cases at a much more reasonable price is very tempting to me - plus a few of their designs deviate from the current industry standards. It's nice to see, and I shall look forward to yours and Jayz and Roman's tests of a few of these.

[@davefb]

Oooh that luggage case... at least the idea, is that handle strong enough? Ha, love the staff watching Steve go thru the cases and names :D

[@urbanpitch90]

I’m really enjoying Montechs cases of late. I’m also going to admit, I kinda like the vinyl one a lot! Mot sure about the handle, if the side buttons could come out for a headphone holder…. I’d be interested! Also, where’s their open case fram design from a year or so ago? That was cool to see.

[@katzicael]

Montech - you have my respect. Started with some really budget, but good cases, and now evolved to these REALLY cool, interesting, Unique cases.

[@theitechlab]

I love my Montech Air 100-4 fans included, hinged glass side panel/door, and it looks great! Glad to see they are still pumping out good cases.

[@bikedoc4145]

Mad respect to Montech for being original and bringing new excitement to PC's they are doing it right in my book and will be getting my money in the future

[@scherge]

The HS01 Mini looks kinda dope. Reminds me of a 50s radio design.

[@BrusqueLee]

Thanks for all the case reviews. I recently went with a 3000D, which is pretty decent for the price and a drastic improvement in airflow for me, but's it's also nice seeing all the shit I missed out on that I didn't want to pay for.

[@WayStedYou]

Curved glass with front 80mm fans could be interesting for a budget fancy looking build with still decent cooling for everything

[@Meatsweats_o_O]

yeah that dual 80mm fan set up is interesting. I'd love to see it all work with like a fog/smoke machine or leak tester (automotive)

[@richarde98]

Love how you "quickly" covered their most interesting case there as a "bizarre case" - love some more unique designs in the stale market of case clones

[@simoSLJ89]

7:19 can this be done on purpose? To keep inside the case the air that's just been pushed in by the 2x8 fans?

[@midniteoyl8913]

That was my take as well, it;s to make sure what little air the 80mm's are moving actually does some good.

[@1337bG01]

I have no idea how you guys are pumping out videos from Computex so quickly. Thanks for the informative content, GN team!

[@GR-jd8re]

Definitely going to be keeping an eye on the HS01. I am a serious SFF PC guy but that case looks incredible, especially at the price point they're aiming for. Excellent coverage as always!

[@coolcat23]

Agreed, that case is the most interesting one to me as well. I hope it will be possible to mount the power supply so that its fan can suck in air from the side of the case and can exhaust to the top of the case. In this orientation its switch won't be accessible but I don't see the disadvantage of just pulling the plug at the back on those rare occasions when it will be necessary to cut power.

[@dangerwr]

I'm one of those people that have their PC on the floor (function over form, sits where fits) so I avoid cases with bottom intake, BUT I can see very clean cable routing possibilities with that power supply placement in the HS01.

[@danieloberhofer9035]

I very much agree on the "no bottom intake when your case sits on the floor" part... but: I've noticed, our of necessity, that the Fractal Torrent's filters work wonders! Had to place mine on the floor (hardwood) for weeks now and apart from having to clean the filters regularly it worked fine. The system's still pretty clean, and that's with having two Persians and a Chow Chow. Fractal really nailed that one.

[@internetwaifu]

Still in love with my Montech Air 903 MAX. Amazing customer support and affordable price!

[@stephenhood2948]

I cannot imagine how huge the King 95 Mega is, the King 95 itself is freaking huge!! It is a beautiful case though, but damn is it large. I got the Pro version for $125, an outstanding value compared to similar cases made by other manufacturers.

[@GreatYamatanoOrochi]

Can't wait to buy the $70 case and then shove a $150 Noctua cooler in there so everyone knows I don't know how to budget!

[@md_vandenberg]

I for one would applaud you. The case is just a metal box for holding things. Why spend too much on it?

[@GreatYamatanoOrochi]

@@md_vandenberg There's also more efficient coolers for the money, to be fair. I do subscribe to the metal box that holds parts mentality but I also subscribe to getting an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 for 80 euros.

I just bought the king pro on white and is amazing, the air flow is amazing, you can change the front glass for a mashed panel and you have 2 extra slots for mounting 2 more fans for extra cooling, has tons of slots for ssd or hdd.

[@Turnkey_BM]

I would say it's.. interesting. Could be fun for lan parties if you have to carry your rig around with you. I personally prefer more glass but yea... interesting.

[@dPten]

I'd like to see cooling component makers research on shroud mechanism to direct air flows right onto specific areas of the case.

[@KiraSlith]

That HS-01 is a fascinating design, VERY different interior layout compared to a lot of other cases, I'm genuinely excited to see the thermal benchmarks on it.

[@rijaja]

The HS01 is really interesting, I love the look of the wall between the chambers and the gray they used. it looks modern while mixing in an ugly 90s aesthetic, I love it

[@rare6499]

That sunken case with the twin rear fans is gorgeous. I absolutely love it.

[@yozo3251]

Montech Sky 2 is my current case. Absolutely fabulous! I will do a future build in the K95.

[@setsubou-studio]

[@Meatsweats_o_O]

thanks to montech for being affordable, stylish and some pretty unique ideas. $200 WITH 7 FANS. i'd love to see how that performs. these guys, damn they are killing it.

[@beasttitan8747]

Have been telling everyone about Montech along time ago, glad they are getting their flowers. I was going to buy a Silent Base 802 but those two case fans caught my eye so I will purchase it once amazon uploads it on their storefront.

[@kevinbrewer8868]

The HSO mini is my favorite case that you looked at their booth. I am extremely intrigued with this concept, and want to put my primary PC in this case! I frequently disconnect, my PC for my game room, then move it into the living room to game while sitting next to my wife. This would make that process so much easier.

[@FerralVideo]

A K65 in a lighter color (silver?) with a clear glass instead of tinted would quickly find itself on my short list. An XR that took a page from the Fractal Pop's book and put 5.25" bays in the basement would be in my shopping cart instantly. The Sky3 is neat, I'll give credit to that. Don't think I would buy one though.

[@KRAVER_]

I love when cases come with 2x 120-140mm fans rear. I have an old Antec df85 and use it for home media server. has the 2 rear 120, and hotswap 3.5" sata3 x6 in the front of the case, with 3x 120mm fans front. and 2.5" hotswap on top.

[@desmofan1864]

Nice to see some different concepts going into their case designs! Go Montech! If that strap on the Mini ends up functional/durable, I kind of dig it as a larger LAN box. Looks neat, too, like a hand bag 🙂

[@vulcan4d]

We need more cases like the Thermaltake V1. So efficient, such good cooling and still uses a full size PSU.

[@giglioflex]

The articulating fan mount on the King 95 Mega Pro could use a folding air guide. The way they have it drawing air from inside the case means that fans on that mount are unlikely to be very effective unless there is negative pressure in the case. In regards to the bag case's aesthetics, I think it looks good. Not my cup of tea but it's a unique design that I can see people liking.

[@Noddy_North]

Montech has been my favourite case in recent years. Budget, performance and visuals 👍 definitely improving year on year. Exciting

[@DarrenReidAu]

Price has to start becoming a core feature with more PC parts, getting so expensive. Good showing from Montech and liked their partnership with GearSeekers too.

[@OmegaBlack999]

Montech raising the bar in the budget realm! I would absolutely consider buying their budget case. The $120 prototype is interesting and I hope to see a full review if it comes to fruition. The Mega Pro was super neat! But it is too much case for me. I'm more of a stealth guy. However, I'd love to see some builds in this case. Great job at first glance, Montech!

[@microwavedsoda]

I love the art deco case you called bizarre. 09:33 - Bizarre Case

[@thevoid6756]

I would be curious if it might have a noticable effect to adjust the angle the 2x80mm fans are mounted in, so that they are more parallel to the ramp.

[@SaviorInTheSun]

7:47 “Oh wow! Is that glass on the back or did Montech invent a clear mesh?!? Nope that case just ate my fingers…there was nothing on the back…”

[@TheRealFireTurtle75]

I want to see the thermals on that King Mega. I just built my son a PC in the King 95 & I'm about to build my daughter one in the King 95 Pro. I like the design enough that I've seriously thought about buying a 3rd King 95 case to migrate my system into it & out of the Corsair 5000D that I have it in. I spent a lot of time giving my case a custom color shift paint job though. So I think I'll wait to see how the King Mega turn out in the tests. Whatever I do, I'm going to eventually cut my next case to mod it for BTF/Project Zero boards if it's not already built for that.

[@bryceywelker]

[@Tautolonaut]

Hey it's my favourite tech channel, Graeme's Nexus

[@riggitywrecked9442]

Dear God, that case with the brown leather is Hideous!!! I want one!

[@coolcat23]

The Montech HS01 looks really interesting. It would be awesome if there were an option to replace the glass panel with a steel one with a horizontal strip of perforation at the height where the GPU sits, to allow the (horizontally mounted) GPU to exhaust its hot air directly out of the side panel. Also, I hope it will be possible to mount the power supply so that its fan can suck in air from the side of the case and can exhaust its warm air to the top of the case. In this orientation, the power supply's switch won't be accessible but I don't see the disadvantage of just pulling the plug at the back on those rare occasions when one needs to cut the power.

[@RobotMowerTricks]

The upper right power supply location is a great idea for those not using rads/pumps. I'd like to do a build with that. With a modular power supply you would have easier access to the ports. You'd have shorter cable runs. You'd almost want shorter cables to make less cable management.

[@CellarDoorAU]

I was fan of NZXT but their products are so weird lately so I'm thinking to moving to Montech. These guys are creating really cool products. I wish there was King 95 Mega with glass on top like on H9 Elite. Would've been amazing

[@NinjaMinkzx]

I love the look of the mini, would like a case that would allow for that type of look available in a larger size, however. Maybe if I end up running a small personal server I could grab one of em. Would it come in different colors?

[@Elecjester]

nice to see some cool cases that are affordable with good airflow. hoping they smooth out some of the design flaws before launch tho.

[@weirdodude1173]

I like the Montech cases with high airflow and low cost (Air 903 Max base for one). Thumbs up!!

[@ocha-time]

I'm genuinely feeling Montech try, finally... My last case was Montech, honestly wasn't thrilled after the purchase with the difficult cable management, things were way tighter than I thought they'd be and the fans of course started failing within six months, but some of these look legitimately interesting! A lot of their popular cases seem to be copycat designs, stuff you see Lian Li do properly for $40-60 more than the Montech price, but I saw more than one case I'd be interested in giving a shot down the line. I also didn't return the case because... I mean, it was $40. How hard can you cry, long as nothing's shorting

[@dazryan3463]

I bought a King 95 Pro as soon as they hit the stores in the UK for a new build, but I have an aging ThermalTake V9 that really is past it's best so need a new case for it's entrails. The King 95 Mega Pro may be the one. Looking forward to the tests

[@ventilate4267]

[@FreekHoekstra]

The mini is actually perfect for me, I need a work desktop, with a 4090 at least 64 GB of ram ideally 128, and at least the highest end desktop processor, if not a thread ripper, you can get that with micro ATX. And I’ve been dying to get micro ATX cases that are designed as a mini ITX case in terms of space efficiency. This looks absolutely fantastic. It even has a strap to carry it by easily so I can pretty easily put it in my bag take it somewhere deploy it use it for a week come back, and the little vinyl sides Also should help a little bit to absorb a little bit of vibration. Main question is does it have sufficient cooling to put a 9950X and a 4090 or 5090 by that time in there. But yeah, absolutely absolutely get me one

[@Varmint260]

I use a piece of card stock in the same spot in my NR600 so the bottom fan flows a bit more at the GPU. Solid engineering, that!

[@cecilb7927]

DIYPC has had their fishtank case at a similar price for a long time, but if it includes fans (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't), they are molex centipede rainbow only, and the quality of DIYPC is OK, Montech on the other hand has always impressed me with their quality on the lower end, I see myself building on those cases a lot once they show up.
