The Air 903 Base comes with three pre-installed HP140 PWM fans, while the Air 903 Max comes with four pre-installed HP140 fans, three of which are ARGB and connected to a LED/PWM controller. The cases support up to nine 120mm fans, six 140mm fans, and two 120mm fans, and up to 360mm AIO coolers at the front and top.

The Air 903 PC cases from Montech are also compatible with a wide range of components, including E-ATX and SSI-EEB motherboards, up to 400mm long and 190mm wide graphics cards, up to 180mm tall CPU coolers, and up to 240mm long PSUs. The cases also offer ample space for storage, with up to five SSDs and two HDD drive bays. The front I/O panel includes a USB-C port and two USB 3.0 ports for easy connectivity.

The cases also feature a spacious 27mm cable route with rubber grommets and Velcro straps for neat cable management. Additionally, the cases are compatible with an optional vertical GPU mounting kit (sold separately) for enhanced aesthetics and performance. The MSRP for the Air 903 cases starts at $65 for the black Air 903 Base and $69 for the white model. The Air 903 Max starts at $75 for the black model, increasing to $79 for the white variant.
