Thermaltake Element Q Small Form Factor Chassis

thermaltake logo

 

If you’re looking for a budget small form factor chassis to setup a HTPC the Thermaltake Element Q is worth the look.  For $80 (at time of writing) you get both the Chassis and the PSU: not a bad deal considering some other small form factor chassis can start at $150 without the PSU.  I could easily see myself throwing in a Small SSD or HDD and a BD drive to set this up as a no frills HTPC.  If Sleek, small, and effective are what you’re looking for, take a look at the Thermaltake Element Q.  The only con I can come up with is the lack of cooling or cooling options.  I wouldn’t have a problem if it came fanless but with a mount for a fan.  While Mini-ITX boards are rarely hot, a small quiet fan couldn’t hurt.

Pros

  • Sleek Styling
  • Included PSU
  • Small
  • Price
 Cons

  • No included cooling or option to upgrade to cooling
