Montech has released some very interesting cases in recent years. This week at Computex, Leo stopped by their booth to get a look at all the latest in PC cases, as well as some new coolers and peripherals.

After walking past the pyramid of fans, Leo makes his way to the new Montech Hyperflow AIO liquid coolers. These coolers are available in 240mm and 360mm radiator sizes. Joining the line-up in Q3 is the brand new Hyperflow Digital 360, which has an embedded display over the pump block. It is a trend we've seen a lot of this year, but Montech has included thicker 28mm fans, rather than the standard 25mm for improved performance. Later in the year, the Cyberflow 360 will also hit the market, which Montech claims will improve cooling by as much as 20 percent compared to some current models.
For air coolers, Montech offers the NX600 and NX400, with or without ARGB lighting. The NX600 has a dual-tower heatsink, making it more appropriate for higher-end, power-hungry CPUs, while the NX400 is a single-tower heatsink, making it good for compact builds and mid-range processors.
On to cases and the first on our list is the Montech Ten, which is still in pre-production, so it won't be available anytime soon. It is a small form factor chassis, aimed at those who want a sensibly-sized and easily movable gaming system for the living room, or events like LANs. The SKY 3 Glass, however, is coming soon and it looks as nice as you would expect based on its name. This is a case all about showing off hardware and ARGB lights. A mesh version is also going to be available but unfortunately the sample for Computex was damaged in transit and as a result, we did not get to see it.
The Montech X5 looks to be the new go-to for anyone looking for a larger tower case without breaking the bank. We're told it will cost around £65, which is a good deal for the amount of space you get, with plenty of room for fans and cooling hardware. A Micro-ATX version, the X5M, is also available for those looking for something a bit more compact, but still in the traditional desktop tower style.
The King 45 is one of Montech's pricier cases at $120, but it comes with four ARGB fans, three in the floor of the case for GPU cooling and one in the rear for exhaust. That leaves the roof open for a 360mm radiator for the CPU, giving you everything you need for a high-end gaming PC. The King 15 is now also on the way, offering the same aesthetics in a smaller package for more compact PCs.
The Montech HS02 is another noteworthy case, as we reviewed a previous version of the case fairly recently. Two things have changed in the HS02, for starters, the rear panel is now glass, and secondly, they have made some extra space in the roof for AIO cooler installation.
The final case on our tour of Montech is the AIR 2000, which is coming in Q2 next year, so this is a very early look. This is a mid-tower case with a mesh front panel and other mesh cutouts, a large tempered glass window on the side, and below that, a digital LCD screen. The twist here is that the digital display can also be used as a fan controller, with buttons to raise or lower speeds.
We've been impressed by the Montech Century II power supply. In 2026, Montech will be adding the Gamma 3 PSU to its roster, which offers compliancy for the latest standards like PCI 5.1 and ATX 3.1, all the cables you'll need and an 80Plus Gold efficiency rating. These will be a decent and inexpensive option, as we're told the 650W version will be priced at $60, or $70 for the 850W version.
KitGuru Says: What did you make of Montech's massive Computex line-up? Is there anything here you'll be looking to get your hands on for a new PC build?
