Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini ITX Case Costs $89.99
It's under $100 and it's already available.
A lot of products at CES are unveiled sans release date. It's also not very common for a product to be available immediately. Still, there are exceptions, and this year, Corsair's Obsidian 250D Mini-ITX case is among them.
The Obsidian Series 250D performance Mini-ITX PC case is available immediately and is Corsair's first chassis built for the Mini-ITX form factor. The 250D supports all modern ATX PSUs (200 mm of PSU clearance) and boasts two expansion slots, (290 mm of internal clearance), two tool-free 3.5-inch/2.5-inch combo bays, two tool-free 2.5-inch only bays, one full-size 5.250-inch drive bay, and two front-mounted USB 3.0 ports.
As far as cooling is concerned, you're looking at two high-airflow fans with room for up to five fans. Radiator compatibility is 120 mm or 140 mm up front or 120 mm or 240 mm for the side.
The side panel and expansion slots utilize thumbscrews, and the case features easily accessible and removable front, side, and PSU dust filters. There's also cable routing with multiple tie-down points to keep everything neat and tidy.
The whole thing weighs 9.7 lbs and is priced at $89.99.

It is a H100i. Looks just like mine. And they are AF120 with the blue rings installed. Why they used those instead of the provided SP120s, which are designed to push air through the radiator while the AFs were designed to give superior air flow, I plan to replace the two remaining 120mm I have in my 500R with them.
It's a nice mITX case. Could make for a decent HTPC.
The view you are looking at is top-down, not side on. There are vents down both sides, but none on the roof (it has a window for some reason). The radiator in the pics sits on one side of the case, the graphics card on the other.

The shape is correct for the H100i. The H60, 80, 100 and 110 all have the older round block but the H100i and H80i have the new square block with the corners like that.
As for the color of the Corsair log, with the LINK software you can customize the color of the logo LED. Default is white but I have mine at red right now to match my motherboard color. I can make it blue, green, orange or any color I want.
