How small do you need it?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I'm in a similar situation. Looking to build a living room HTPC/Steam PC. The three choices I'm looking at are the Node 202, which is the biggest of the three. The Dan A4-SFX and the NFC Skyreach 4 mini (or S4M). Maybe those other two tickle your fancy, they can be seen at the link below. Based on just the various images, I'm likely going to go with the S4M even though I really don't like the vents on the various sides. Maybe it'll make a good build log post if I mod it.

Sadly if OP doesnt plan on swapping out the PSU, their smaller sized cases are limited. QBX would be a good choice, and if OP does intend to switch out their PSU to make a QBX or a Node 202 possible, the QBX would be better since it has better support for AIO's.
