The Montech TG3 is presented as an entry-level ATX mid-tower chassis, positioned to offer strong value at a budget-friendly price point.
The initial cost for the case was reported as $59.90 for the black version, with the white variant priced higher at $79.90.
A key aesthetic difference lies in the interior: the black model features a two-tone design incorporating a silver PSU shroud, while the white version matches the shroud’s color to the rest of the case.
Despite its low price, Montech equipped the TG3 with standard inclusions including three 120mm ARGB uni-body reverse fans on the front side and a single 120mm ARGB rear exhaust fan. Furthermore, an ARGB lighting strip illuminates the PSU shroud.
The case design also incorporates tempered glass panels for both the side and the front sections.
In terms of compatibility, the TG3 supports ITX, M-ATX, and ATX motherboards, and features BTF (Back-To-Front) support to aid in cleaner cable management. Its spacious dimensions accommodate GPU lengths up to 430mm, CPU coolers up to 180mm, and power supplies up to 250mm.
Cooling options are extensive; the case supports three 120mm or 140mm fans and a 360mm radiator on the top. Side cooling can be achieved with three 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator.
Storage capacity is limited, allowing space for either one 3.5-inch HDD or two 2.5-inch SSDs.
The exterior design balances sharp corners with a curved PSU shroud inside. A defining feature is the black band surrounding both the tempered glass side and front panels. The top panel consists of a single-piece plastic vented panel that includes an integrated filter, though it was noted during review that this component feels somewhat cheap compared to other Montech cases.
The front Input/Output (I/O) array is located at the bottom and provides power access, LED control, two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB Type-C port, and a headset audio jack. Both the rear and top panels are designed for tool-less removal, eliminating the need for thumbscrews.
Thermal testing conducted with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X system yielded solid performance data. Over a two-hour Aida64 stress test at a 25°C ambient temperature, the CPU reached a maximum of 77.1°C and averaged 74.7°C.
GPU temperatures were reported as more impressive, peaking at 70.5°C with an average of 69.7°C, placing this performance within the top 10 cases reviewed.
For building the system, the experience was straightforward, offering plenty of space behind the motherboard tray and multiple tie-down points using preinstalled Velcro straps.
The included accessories are comprehensive, featuring labelled screw bags, zip ties, Velcro ties, a cleaning cloth, and a manual. The case also includes a spare panel latch. However, it notably does not include a GPU support bracket, an omission the reviewer deemed acceptable given the unit’s price point.
Minor drawbacks identified by the reviewer included the $20 premium associated with choosing the white color option. Additionally, the bottom feet provide minimal clearance—only around 10mm for the feet and another 5mm for the filter—which may restrict power supply airflow.
The documentation was scrutinized for flaws: the packaging and manual contained a spelling error, showing “Ture” instead of “True”. Furthermore, the power supply filter is removed from the back of the case, reducing its accessibility.
