Introduction
I would like to thank
Montech for supplying the review sample.
Montech has been focusing on offering ATX enclosures, and we were impressed by aggressive pricing and useful feature sets in the past. The Air family of enclosures being quite popular, it will be interesting to see how their first Micro-ATX product, the Air 100 ARGB we are reviewing today, will fair. It comes in two color options: either black or white. You may also pick between the Air 100 Lite and Air 100 ARGB variants; as the names suggest, a basic variant or the review sample of this article with ARGB fans and a controller right out of the box.

Packaging
The Montech Air 100 ARGB ships in a plain brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on front and some more details in multiple languages on the back. On the sides, you will find a table of specifications and another shot of the chassis from a different angle. While our box was severely beaten up by the courier service, the chassis survived just fine.
Montech protects the enclosure with two Styrofoam spacers and a plastic bag. Both spacers had broken apart and were taped together by someone before the chassis was shipped to us.
