Introduction
I would like to thank
Montech for supplying the review sample.
Montech is expanding the XR series with the XR Wood, which—as the name implies—sports some real wood elements. While it may not look anything like the original XR chassis, it does share the same body and as such is deserving to be part of the same model family. Instead of the glass heavy approach, the XR Wood is a more traditional case, with a different fan setup. Available in both black and white, the Montech XR Wood aims to be a budget friendly case.

Packaging
With the XR Wood, Montech is continuing to stay pretty consistent with their packaging design, using an image of the enclosure on the front with its centered model name coupled with marketing details in multiple languages in the back. The sides sport a specifications table and a blow-up diagram.
The case comes packaged with two Styrofoam spacers - one for the front and one for the back. A clear plastic bag has also been employed to protect the case from scratches and fingerprints.
