Montech showed off the Ten Wood at Computex this year — a compact PC case with wooden trim and a magnetic wooden block that sits directly above the exhaust fans. The idea is to load it up with essential oils or anything else fragrant and let the fans do the rest.
The Ten Wood comes in three variants: the M1, M2, and I3. M1 and M2 support both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards; the I3 is Mini-ITX only. Despite the name, actual wood is sparse — a strip at the top and bottom of the front and rear panels, plus the diffuser block in the middle. The base Montech Ten retails for $70, and the Ten Wood will likely sit just above that, keeping it firmly in budget territory. No release date yet.
The diffuser is a small, niche touch rather than a headline feature — technically any case with upward-facing exhaust fans can do the same job. That said, the wooden block fits naturally into the design rather than feeling bolted on, and for anyone who actually uses essential oils or incense, it's a genuinely useful bonus.
Computex had no shortage of weird cases this year. Montech also unveiled a shuttered case that divided opinion, darkFlash brought the Floatron — which looks like it escaped a mad scientist's lab — and Be Quiet! showed a massive chassis with room for up to seven HDDs. The biggest reaction from the team, though, went to the Corsair Warthog: a military-themed case with flight control-style buttons and a dedicated switch for a light above the rear IO panel.
