Is this case good?

Eslitened · April 19, 2020

I'm looking for a budged case with good airflow for my rx5700xt and 3600x. So I looked up this:

Montech. I've never heard of them(any good?). I decided to pick the non-mesh version because I didn't like the mesh look of it from my aesthetic point of view. The mesh version also cost more.

Lots of people seems to pick cases with mesh front panel. Does it really effect airflow that much?

If you're looking for good airflow the front panel on that one will suffocate your intake. Pick almost any case with a full front mesh for good air flow.

You're definitely gonna want at least front mesh. The more airflow the better. To quote Linus, "Cold is good."

Thanks for the suggestion. However. One of my friend told me that the mesh front panel of many PC cases can sometimes be fragile and create too much noise.

I noticed that the non-mesh version has a big gap between the panel and the frontal fan responsible for sucking in air. Maybe could I just DIY myself and drill some tiny holes on the middle of the front panel where the fan located without damaging too much of its look? Will it suffice?
