MONTECH, an innovative PC components and peripherals brand, is proud to release the AIR 100 ARGB and AIR 100 Lite, MONTECH's first compact Micro-ATX cases. A continuation of the AIR series DNA of exceptional cooling performance, MONTECH sets a new standard for Micro-ATX cases. Its dustproof and large front mesh panel, swivel-open tempered glass panel, and hardware compatibility make it ideal for users looking for an elegant compact case for building a high-performance system.

A large front panel with super fine mesh allows cool air to flow, ensuring the optimal heat dissipation of the components inside. With its magnetic quick-release mounting mechanism, removing the mesh panel for cleaning is easy.



Optimized Internal Layout
Pushing the limit of conventional Micro-ATX cases, the AIR 100 supports graphics cards up to 330 mm (13") in length and PSU's up to 160 mm in length. On the cooling end, the AIR 100 offers 161 mm of CPU clearance and support for 240/280 mm radiator at the front, or 240 mm radiator on the top. In addition, pre-installed cable management loops and straps behind the motherboard tray keeps the case tidy.

Minimalistic and Functional Aesthetic
The AIR 100 features a tool-free tempered glass panel, free of mounting holes for added structural strength, which can be swivelled open for ease of access to the internal components. Available in black and white, the white version includes a true all-white theme with matching components including fans and cable management straps.

RGB and No RGB
The white and black versions of the AIR 100 will come in an ARGB and non-LED options. While the AIR 100 ARGB version comes with four 120 mm ARGB fans, a fan controller, and a 1-to-4 LED splitter cable, the AIR 100 Lite is equipped with two non-LED 120 mm silent fans for those looking to build a classic build.

Available starting May 11th in the USA on Amazon and Newegg, the AIR 100 ARGB will have an MSRP of US$69.99 for the black version, and US$75.99 for the white version. The non-LED AIR 100 Lite, MSRP will be US$54.99 for the black version, and US$59.99 for the white version.

Is there a version without a glass side panel? This is definitely a case I'd be looking at but I'm not interested in transparent side panels. Its 2021 I think this trend has been played out, I don't need to see the inside of my PC 100% of the time to know I'm BA at cable management.

Also notice how their one press photo of the case in a actual environment is from the side with a solid panel LOL?

Glass front panel? It'd be hard to call it "AIR" with a front panel that cuts off airflow...

Edited, apparently I can't type. No glass side panel, no glass anywhere, I'm done with it and sick of seeing on literally everything.

The glass I don't mind. It's the rainbow-puke-all-teh-things! trend in cases that I'm tired of. That's not to say I outright hate RGB lighting in a case (I have some and am looking for a bit more). Far from it. But I'm more of a one or two colors only type. The rainbow puke is obnoxious.
