The Montech TEN might be one of the most surprising budget PC cases I’ve looked at in a long time. For just $69, you get impressive build quality, great airflow, and a surprisingly modular design. Check it out at https://amzn.to/4wDIiG8 In this video, I take a closer look to see how Montech made this case so cheap… and what compromises, if any, come with it. ○ Get your JayzTwoCents Merch Here! - https://www.jayztwocents.com ○ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkWQ0gDrqOCarmUKmppD7GQ/join ○ Join the official JTC Discord! https://discord.gg/jayztwocents ○○○○○○ Items featured in this video available at Amazon ○○○○○○ ► Amazon US - https://amzn.to/43wnUsz ► Amazon UK - http://amzn.to/Zx813L ► Amazon Canada - http://amzn.to/1tl6vc6 ••• Follow me on your favorite Social Media! ••• Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jayztwocents Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jayztwocents Instagram: http://instagram.com/jayztwocents# SUBSCRIBE! http://bit.ly/sub2JayzTwoCents --- 00:00 Unboxing 06:23 Parts Fitment 07:36 Example Parts Installed 12:53 Large GPU Fitment 14:23 PSU Size Considerations 17:11 Inverted Mode + Vertical GPU 23:58 ITX Dual Chamber Mode 26:46 Wrap-up

As someone in the metal fab industry, the machines to make that "stamped steel" is very expensive lol
What a mesh! 😛 BTW, I appreciate how you actually put stuff in the case, instead of just reading off the spec sheet.
Yes, this is what a case should cost if it is basically all metal.
Nothing wrong with a long build series. If anything I've always appreciated (and I'm sure many others have as well) you showing the speedbumps and adjustments made along the way to a finished build. The hang-ups are probably the most important thing to convey in a custom loop build. Just flashy B roll montages make custom loops look almost too easy. That also looks like a pretty solid mesh case. Nice! And not just for the 69.
Amazing case! I've always loved Montech, their low-key look, great quality, and now this incredible design.
Thanks for showing the Tuf card because size specs aren't accurate as they claim. I'm not swapping out a 9070xt just for a case.
Perfect case for desktop PC! Love the all-mesh design🤩 Happy birthday Montech🎂
this just makes me want to look at old 250D builds again. they should re do that case a tad longer, probably dont need that optical drive bay anymore huh
The case just became available on SCAN in the UK. The TEN costs, including shipping and tax, £62.17, and yes, I have purchased it.
0:21 you have a platform scenerie that you are adding to your minds eye.
This case reminds me so much of a case you previously reviewed and thought was a good case the GAMDIAS Athena Micro‑Tower Gaming PC Case
With great value, comes great responsability
Something that small and reasonably priced has a ton of features and compatibility options that put it well ahead of anything else I've seen while looking for SFF cases. Love my King 95 and the XR I used for a build a year or two back. Montech does a really good job.
Speaking of reusing cases. Ive been using the same case forever, the Corsair Air 540 since it released like 13 years ago. I do want a new case.
Jay i would really like to see you review the new Jonsbo D33 case. its an a3 style case but looks like you can fit quite a bit of watercooling in it
Happy birthday Montech!

Yup, after well over a decade I switched from the cheap Corsair case I had to an amazing Fractal one. Lot's of air flow, a bay for my disk drive (cause I'm still a huge fan of physical media) and after years of dreaming a glass side instead of that cheap acrylic. What a time to be alive.
I've been running a micro-atx board in a full ATX case for years, and the only reason is the obscene price of smaller cases... this is on it's way to my house. I cannot wait to reclaim so much of the area on my desk.
Jay, its cheaper to stamp out the side and add a simple mesh, than adding glass sides/doors
