Introduction

I would like to thank Montech for supplying the review sample.


Montech may not have been around for too long in regards to the western markets, but their cases, which generally take design hints from other well-known cases, tend to be on the more affordable end while also offering sensible functionality. On top of that, Montech tends to add its own features as well. The Air 1000 series has a slew of variants, from a silent version with solid panels to the Lite which opts for non-LED fans and the standard variant that adds embedded lighting to the mix. On top of that, all of these variations are available in all-black or all-white. We are reviewing the Montech Air 1000 Lite in black today.

Packaging


Montech ships the Air 1000 Lite in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on the front and back, along with some marketing text describing what the case is all about. On the side is the specifications table and another shot of the case from the front.


Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place, while a plastic bag has been placed over the enclosure to keep away fingerprints and scratches during packing.
