Cooler Master's new Elite 100 is an another good choice of compact chassis for your htpc, it can fit either a micro-ATX or a mini-ITX motherboard. It has a simplistic front panel provides only the power-on button, USB and audio ports. The body is made of steel and plastic. Good thing is that the asking price is unbelievable low. From what I could see from the pictures, mind you, you may need a slim MATX for this chassis. A good choice if you are looking for something value for money from a reputable name, but definitely not for those high-end users. Other features of the Elite 100 includes:
- Multi-device support:
