Very simple, I want to use this case just because is a Small chasis, and I want a rig just for Lan Parties. Dont want something expensive, just a gaming pc to play whatever you throw in Lan Parties. Sorry for my bad english, for real. Is not my primary language :D
I cant give you build right now but first...
Budget?
what games?
region?
Budget- I'm currently not thinking about it because there is always room for upgrades. A friend of mine was talking about to play Rainbow Six Siege so, something that can run that is welcome.
Games- I was thinking only in the mainstream games, like League of Legends or Counter Strike. Those games can run at high frame rates with low profiles GPUs so I was looking for something not to expensive.
Region- i'm from Puerto Rico.
I LOVE playing games with high graphics, but hey, the fact that I can play with people around me like the old times, its much valuable than graphics I think ^_^
I just kinda put something together that made sense without going too over the top.
Also Puerto Rico is US territory right? so you shouldn't have any problems with pc part picker

Swap for decent sized boot SSD with some space for a couple games, and expand later on for another one. Don't put a 2.5" 5400RPM HDD in a rig for anything these days lmao.

Literally the only things I would change in the above build is to maybe step down to a B150 motherboard (given that you have a locked multi chip and Intel may be forcing BIOS updates to eliminate BCLK overclocking on locked SKUs), and to take the extra money and apply it towards something like a faster HDD with at least 7200 RPM capabilities. HGST has a 7200 RPM drive at 1TB of capacity for cheaper than the aforementioned Seagate drive, and it's faster.
Yes, I am aware you just picked everything out on the fly, just some observer's critiques x-p. Otherwise yeah, that's prolly about the build I'd shoot for. IF there's more room in the budget, for 50-60 bucks you can get a SSD for the OS and make your boot times that much faster, or just use it for a drive cache if you want to.
the node 202 isn't too small man, just thin compared to the average microATX case
I'd go i5 + nano in an Elite 110
Im actually looking for something a little bit cheaper. But, thank you all for your quick response!
I would recommend the TU100b instead of the Elite 110. The nano and the TU100b seems like a match made in heaven imo, plus the TU100b seems like a great lan case.
Isn't that adding like 70 bucks for a handle though?
Also more compact and imo better looking. For mobile use, the smaller case (slightly iirc) and the handle will make things a lot easier. Ultimate lan rig.
I really love the TU100b. Its so.... PORTABLE! now the tricky part, how I can build in there a rig that will not break my bank XD

What do you guys thinks of apu cpu? For the ultimate lan party box?
I made an ITX system using a Node 202 for a client not like 2 weeks ago

The system worked out really well it had good temps and was very powerful because skylake and maxwell I was able to overclock the GPU to over 1500 mhz on the core without issue. The system was sleek and nice and the client really liked it. With the parts I picked it was even an easy build, the only thing I didn't like was the 24pin Mobo cable length was too long from the matched power supply
