Who each one is for
The Asus ROG Hyperion GR701 is the one to take for high-end ROG-themed builds and E-ATX motherboards with dual 480mm radiators, though it is not the pick for budget builds and small desks. The Montech Air 1000 Premium suits dual radiator builds on a mid-range budget and high-airflow gaming PCs with big GPUs, though it is the wrong buy for small desks with limited space and silent or sound-dampened build goals. Our rating of the Asus ROG Hyperion GR701 (8.5/10): A genuinely flexible full-tower flagship, priced like one, for ROG builds that want the matching aesthetic. Our rating of the Montech Air 1000 Premium (8.5/10): excellent value for a four-fan, dual-360mm-radiator case; one of the best budget-to-midrange picks for a serious air-cooled or AIO build.
