Verdict
Hyte Y40
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The right call if you want the Hyte panoramic look without the Y60/Y70's bulk.
Montech Air 1000 Premium
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
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.
