MONTECH, an innovative PC components and peripherals brand, announces the AIR 1000 with 3 cases including AIR 1000 PREMIUM, AIR 1000 LITE, and AIR 1000 SILENT. Each AIR 1000 case comes equipped with unique features such as 2 front panels (glass and mesh) for the PREMIUM, all-around dust filter and high airflow fans for the LITE, and soundproof panels for the SILENT. MSRP ranges from US$69.99 to US$95.99.

The AIR 1000 PREMIUM offers a tool-less and easily removable design. Choose between a glass front panel to fully display the front fan's lighting effects, or opt for a mesh front panel to improve airflow. Both front panels are included with the AIR 1000 PREMIUM, as well as 3x140 mm (front) and 1x 120 mm (rear) pre-installed ARGB fans, and a control hub. The AIR 1000 PREMIUM is available in black and white.



AIR 1000 LITE
The AIR 1000 LITE is airflow focused with its easily removable fine-mesh front panel and included 3x 120 high airflow fans (2x front, 1x rear). Sufficient airflow is assured with the fine mesh front panel, two openings along the front panel, as well as dust filtered openings along the top and bottom of the case. The AIR 1000 LITE is available in black and white.

AIR 1000 SILENT
The AIR 1000 SILENT edition is ideal for a stealthier case. Available only in black, the case comes equipped with 3x120mm quiet fans (2x front, 1x rear). All side panels are lined with a layer of premium soundproofing vinyl material which ensures the system will be quiet enough, even for professional sound recording studios.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
The AIR 1000 series is equipped with features designed to improve the PC building, performance, and maintenance. A push pin mechanism ensures quick and tool-less removal of the front panel. A quick slide-out dust filter is located behind the front panel for fast cleaning. Behind the motherboard tray, rubber grommets and multiple tie points can be found to help with cable management. Up to a 360 radiator can be fitted at the front of the case to ensure sufficient cooling of the CPU. And for the PREMIUM and LITE, the left side panel is made of strong tempered glass on swivels for easy access to the components inside.

Pricing & Availability
MONTECH AIR 1000 cases are available on Newegg.

AIR 1000 Premium Black/White: $89.99 / $95.99
AIR 1000 Silent Black: $79.99

Darn! Beat me to it!

Jep, Montech is happily applying copy / paste with hit-and-miss results.

They also do the Montech X3 Mesh, a good airflow budget friendly clone of Fractals Define:

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/montech-air-1000-lite/ it doesn't fit :) This is a pretty good, compact budget chassis though.

Gods almighty, you talk to case manufactures a lot, tell them there is a thirst and hunger for cheap budget cases that can house a 420mm AIO arctic cooler!!! I require cold on the cheap!! Arctic has come through for me at $118 (the 420mm Arcitc was on sale for this yesterday) now I just need case manufactures to come through...

NEVER AGAIN WILL I ACCEPT 70 CELSIUS AS THE NORMAL!!!! *HOWLS INTO THE NIGHT*
