A node doesn't have to cost $100. Here's how:
$10: Raspberry pi zero w - a low cost alternative to the pi 3

(There are also many other even cheaper alternatives to this, that would also run a full node)
$5-10 (depending on how many you buy and from where) A 32 GB SD card. Considering that the LTC blockchain is only 10GB right now. This should be enough.
A fan is not needed for a raspberry pi. Just like your phone or your tablet doesn't have a fan.
$5: for extra bits and pieces: Cables, wires, production cost and maybe a low cost case.
That's $20-25, leaning towards the $20. Of course this isn't counting in a profit for the seller. But seriously $100?
And then if you are considering building these in bulk,
100+ pieces, you could cut the cost down to even around $10. A price where many people would support the LTC network by buying one.
