I've been looking around for a tiny case that can fit a Micro ATX motherboard, and a 165mm PSU. I'm wanting to build a little APU lan rig with some spare parts, and small form factor is the goal. Thanks for any input!

 

p.s. I already have the mobo and PSu which is why this is so specific.

This is all i can really think of, to be honest. mATX is a bit of a wierd size for HTPC's

 

Edit: Fractal design node also works

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

I feel like the Phenom is literally just the Prodigy with a different shell. But thanks for the post. Looks like cube cases are the only way. *sigh* :P

Yea, most HTPC cases are made for mini-itx

 

IMO the two i listed would probably look better on a  shelf than a typical htpc anyway

Ya this is not actually going to be an HTPC, I just want a small case really. Something I can transport easily.
