Montech Air 903 Max

[Darksaber]

The Montech Air 903 Max continues to offer the competitive price/performance Montech is known for, while providing everything you expect from a modern, airflow focused enclosure. So much, that we are hard pressed to find much to complain about.

• Blue USB 3.0 Type-A ports

Most people buying that case wont really find it annoying. I have a deepcool case and it has teal coloured USB port and I dont really pay attention to colour of port at all.

@Darksaber thank you for the review!

Excellent CPU/GPU at load performance, x4 140mm bundled in fans with ARGB controller included and that too at a very reasonable asking price. I'm surprised it beats some of my current favourite cases (Lian Li 216 being one of them).

I was never a fan but Montechs definitely got my attention. Neat looking case too! So glad they didn't add their logo or if i've missed it, any large visible one. I like em plain and simple.

m.e.h....

Moar same ole same same, boring AF rectangular boxen, but hey it's cheap, and has USB-C on the front, so there's that

I wish I needed a case because this would be it. Okok I'll 'suffer' with my Corsair 4000 lol! I really like that the idle temps are mid-tier while the load temps are very low, which means the deltas are likely the smallest of any affordable case out there, which is supposed to be ideal for most if not all components.

I'd go so far as suggest color-coded USB ports as something for the Pro column rather than Con. I'll take at-a-glance color differentiation over teensy text labeling any day of the week.

If no other option I would probably use Deep Cool or Cooler Master instead.

@Darksaber Thanks for the comprehensive review! It seems that the comparison graphs don't include all of the cases that you've tested in the recent past. I don't see the Fractal Torrent there. Now, this is definitely worthy of an editor's choice award. Four 140 mm fans and a PWM hub for $80 make this a no-brainer. My only con would be the glass side panel.

I bought this case a few weeks ago, absolutely surprised about the excellent quality it has.

For this price, I don't think anything comes close to the AIR 903.

They did, at the bottom, behind the front filter.

ewww.... glad its concealed by the front filter. Maybe its a personal preference, i don't like brand names on cases. Minimalistic logos which look good, i don't mind, anything else PASS!

EDIT1: looool look on the PSU shroud, clearly marked/engraved "montech" hahah. Some clearer images here: https://www.montechpc.com/en/products_detail.php?nid=354&s_ok2=

EDIT2: No thanks

Kudos for including 140mm PWM fans.

I hope Cougar send MX600 RGB to you, I think its one of the best ATX cases right now.

Montech Air 903 Max is my case of choice, but not sure my choice of MB and AIO will fit... The motherboard is ASRock Z790 Taichi Lite EATX LGA1700 and the cooler is ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360. I believe the combined fan and radiator thickness is 65.5 mm. Is there enough clearance with the location of the VRM heatsink on the MB? This ASRock motherboard is NOT on Arctic's list of incompatible motherboards and pcpartpicker doesn't show any compatibility issues. Hoping someone has tried this combination.

thicker radiators might be problematic:

Here a total of 55mm clearance is shown.
