MONTECH, an innovative PC components and peripherals brand, announces the SKY ONE LITE. The newest addition to the SKY series offers top cooling performance at a great value with a fine mesh front panel, 3 pre-installed 120 mm high airflow fans, and an all-around anti-dust design. The SKY ONE LITE is equipped with modern and functional features such as a removable quick connect ARGB front panel, top I/O including a USB Gen 2 Type C port, and an easy swivel tempered glass side panel. And for the first time, a Frost White edition, which is completely white themed with white duster filters, grommets and silver screws. The SKY ONE LITE is available in Black US$69.99 and Frost White US$72.99.

The SKY ONE LITE's design provides the best airflow for high-end PC hardware. At the front, the fine mesh panel consists of 1.5 mm diameter mesh holes spaced at 2.25 mm apart, providing a 40.3% open area ratio for higher airflow yet prevents dust from entering the case. In addition to unrestricted openings at the top (filtered) and back of the case, 3 pre-installed 120 mm high airflow fans (2 at the front, 1 at the rear) for ideal cooling performance. Users also have the option to upgrade cooling with up to 3x 120/140 mm fans or up to 360 mm radiator at the front, 2x 120/140 mm fans or up to 280 mm radiator at the top, 2x 120 mm fans above the PSU shroud, and 1x 120 mm fan or radiator at the rear.



Highlights:
  • Fine mesh front panel with all-around anti-dust design
  • Removable quick connect ARGB front panel including 21 built-in lighting effects
  • Front I/O includes 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port
  • Hinged left side tempered glass panel for quick removal
  • Includes 3 pre-installed 120 mm high airflow fans
  • Available in Black US$69.99, Frost White US$72.99
Compelling Front Panel and I/O
The SKY ONE LITE's front panel balances functionality and aesthetics. In addition to its fine mesh design, the panel sports an 18 LED ARGB embedded vibrant light strip at the center, and an ARGB backlit MONTECH logo at the top. Powered via a contact pad, this means no messy cables for easy removal of the panel. Located at the top of the case, users can find the LED control buttons to quickly change between the 21 built-in light effects, or pass the lighting control to the motherboard RGB software. Located at the top of the front panel, the SKY ONE LITE offers a modern array of I/O including 2x USB 3.0, 1x Audio, and 1x mic port, as well as 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port.

Hinged Tempered Glass and Hardware Compatibility
Displaying the PC gracefully, the left side of the SKY ONE LITE is equipped with a tempered glass panel featuring a zero drill hole design to improve its sturdiness. Mounted on hinges, the panel can be quickly swiveled open and even removed for complete and safe access to the PC's high-end hardware, which includes support for graphics cards of up to 350 mm in length, CPU coolers of up to 170 mm in height, ATX PSUs of up to 180 mm, and up to 3x 2.5" SSDs and 2x 3.5" HDDs.

Frost White Edition
The SKY ONE LITE is available in Frost White edition, an all-white design on the interior and exterior. The chassis has a high-quality white coating that is whiter than the standard white cases. The interior features white rubber grommets, white fans, and white dust filters. On the exterior, the SKY ONE LITE features a white frame, a white pull-tab for the side glass panel, and even silver screws.

Don't like white, and i prefer wider cases with the PSU in the side now, would never buy a case with the PSU in the bottom or top again.

Not a bad case, small for my liking, but looks decently functional.

At least this is fully white, unlike some other manufacturers that do "mostly white" (Lian Li, looking at you).

The front panel should be fine as long as the mesh is porous enough. I've seen cases get decent results with less mesh on the front (the Be Quiet 500DX, which has less open mesh than it seems at first glance). Though I'd move the fans to the other side of the mounting rail so they aren't so close to that middle strip. Should help them pull in more air.

Maybe they should also release a Sky One Pure with NO RGB lighting strip blocking the fans. Do that and I'll take a serious look.
