Coolermaster Elite 130

[Vengeance]

Not a fan of the whole mini itx scene yet but this case decent in the way that you can install a single 120mm rad to the front of the case for cpu or gpu cooling.

And it like $8US cheaper than its predecessor

Yea, that's a nice case. W1nTry is using that for his gaming HTPC.

^ I much prefer that one i just posted but for half the price, it's pretty neat. This one is a mid size tower though but it's still rather cool

...and here I was, thinking of modding my Elite 120 to fit a H80 or so.

Looks like I'll be getting one of these instead.

Hmmm just saw this on amazon while I was looking at the n200 for a itx media pc ...might be the better choice than the n200 would be better cooled if u install a gpu... Hmm which one to get ... That hsf xb is nice but out of the price bracket of the other two

Well, the HAF XB fits an ATX board opposed to the 130 with a mini ITX. It's also larger and part of the HAF (High Air Flow) series. What's cool about the XB is that the tray is removable to use as a test bench as well. So for an extra $50 US, it's not bad.

It's not really classed as an HTPC type of case but it's small and portable enough compared to a Mid/Full case to be used as one.

ohh now see is a mid tower... cool
