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.
