Looking For Case With Specific Dimensions

I'm looking for a case that can fit a full ATX motherboard while being smaller than 18.5"/470mm high, 9.5'"/241mm wide, and 16"/406mm deep.

 

Also to note, the IO (Audio In/Out, USB) must be on the front and not on the top or sides, unless the case is short enough that it doesn't matter. Would prefer a plain black case with no windows.

 

I've been looking for such a case for a while now. My current computer desk was really only meant to fit an mATX mid tower at most. I have an ATX motherboard and can't exchange, refund, or otherwise switch out for a smaller motherboard.

 

As of right now the Riotoro's CR1080 is the only case that will even fit and personally it looks a little to "gamery" for me, plus a few reviews have pointed out that the case has quite a few flaws. If there's an alternative I'd really like to hear it.

S340 is extremely close to those measurements...

Are you fitting the case inside a wood box or something? Is that why it needs to be no more than X millimeters?

You know there still needs to be space for airflow right?

With the way the desk is built the front and back of the pc compartment are open but there are wooden supports that block the lowest two inches or so.

 

I added the millimeter measurement for the metric folks. It doesn't have to match up to the exact millimeter, just as close as possible. 

 

Unfortunately the S340 won't work, the front IO would be right up against the top of the compartment.

But you don't really need to use the front IO.

If you must have an easy way to plug stuff in just get a USB hub or some extension cables.

True, I'd rather use the front USB ports but a hub or extensions would work. The S340 still wouldn't work though, at 18.66" tall I literally wouldn't be able to squeeze my finger between the pc case and the top of the compartment to push the power button. Also it's 1/2 too deep.

 

Maybe I should just go with an HTPC case and put it under the monitor.
