Tagan is a manufacturer of PC power supplies, storage solutions, and cases. The company supplied us with a Monolize-CS tower case, an impressive creation that features two huge 250 mm side intake fans.

At first glance, the Monolize case seems to be the ideal case for an enthusiast on a budget. It fits into the market at the very attractive $100 USD price point while offering a unique coolin... Continue reading

    WOW.... nice looking.... I haven't weighed a case in a while, how does this one compare to other cases you've worked with?

    I think Rob said this case weighs quite a bit more than the other cases we have on hand for review. This baby is a massive steel monstrosity and it's weight is comparable to an armoured car.

    I actually did physically weight the case. It's definitely heavier than most cases I've worked with before, but comes in very close to the manufacturer spec weight of 26 pounds - it weighed in at exactly 26.2 pounds for me.

    Case weight, however, isn't really a factor when it's stationary, and the weight of it simply speaks to the quality of construction. Tagan used a heavy-gauge steel for the construction, nothing cheap or flimsy about any of it.

    So you're saying it's build like a Chrysler Imperial and should be banned from banger racing.

    Did Tagan just define a new class of case?

    Full size tower, high quality, top tier cooling, budget builders

    No Leo

    Ive tested both this case and an Antec 300 with the exact same setup and the Antec 300 has lower idle and load temps.

    I also know an Antec 900 is better than the 300.

    The 900 is $110, the Tagan is $99, and the 300 is $55
