This case is just a straight-up knock-off of the Corsair 4000D, and yet manages to fumble the actual "air"flow portion of its name. We're reviewing the Montech Air 1000 Lite case.

The Montech Air 1000 Lite is our second review of a Montech product on this channel. The first time Montech sent us a case, it was the X3 Mesh. That one did relatively well in our testing, and we'd say it was a good start for the brand. Unfortunately, the second case that they sent was this one -- the "Air" 1000 Lite -- and it fails to live-up to the name while being otherwise mundane in build quality and features.
