Montech XR Wood

6.5/10verdict: good, not the best

The Montech XR Wood is for budget builders who want a mesh-fronted ATX case with fans already fitted. It suits people planning an air-cooled or liquid-cooled gaming PC with a long graphics card and a small number of drives. It is a weaker fit for storage-heavy builds or back-connect motherboards.
