Cooler Master Announces Elite 130 Mini-ITX Case

[[Coi] Mr.CLuBBeR]

Successor to last year’s Elite 120 features a full mesh front panel

PC peripheral maker Cooler Master on Tuesday announced the launch of a new case that it says improves upon last year’s Elite 120 Advanced mini-ITX chassis with a bunch of value added features. It is clear from its spec sheet that the Elite 130, as the just launched mini ITX case is called, is definitely a little more compact and slightly lighter than the Elite 120.
But the biggest difference seems to be the fact that the Elite 130 has a full mesh front panel, which allows for greater airflow. Staying on the topic of cooling, it ships with one 120mmx25mm front fan, which can be removed to make way for a 120mm water cooling radiator, and one 80x15mm side fan.
The Elite 130 supports graphics cards up to 343mm/13.5 inch in length, up to 5 x HDDs and/or SSDs and a full-sized power supply. The complete specs are thus:

• Material: Polymer front mesh panel and steel alloy body
