Its dustproof and large front mesh panel, swivel-open tempered glass panel, and hardware compatibility make it ideal for users looking for an elegant compact case for building a high-performance system.

Quick-release magnetic front mesh panel
A large front panel with super fine mesh allows cool air to flow, ensuring the optimal heat dissipation of the components inside. With its magnetic quick-release mounting mechanism, removing the mesh panel for cleaning is easy.

Optimized Internal Layout
Pushing the limit of conventional Micro-ATX cases, the AIR 100 supports graphics cards up to 330mm (13”) in length and PSU’s up to 160mm in length. On the cooling end, the AIR 100 offers 161mm of CPU clearance and support for 240/280mm radiator at the front, or 240mm radiator on the top. In addition, pre-installed cable management loops and straps behind the motherboard tray keeps the case tidy.

Minimalistic and Functional Aesthetic
The AIR 100 features a toolless tempered glass panel, free of mounting holes for added structural strength, which can be swivelled open for ease of access to the internal components. Available in black and white, the white version includes a true all-white theme with matching components including fans and cable management straps.

RGB and No RGB
The white and black versions of the AIR 100 will come in an ARGB and non-LED options. While the AIR 100 ARGB version comes with four 120mm ARGB fans, a fan controller, and a 1-to-4 LED splitter cable, the AIR 100 Lite is equipped with two non-LED 120mm silent fans for those looking to build a classic build.
