Does this case exist?

I recently purchased this motherboard for a media PC and found out rather quickly that is does not use a standard power supply since it has DC onboard. The other devices(BluRay ROM, 2Tb HD, and SSD) are powered from the motherboard. Since I do not need a power supply other than the small power brick that plugs into motherboard, are there ANY cases that do not have space for a power supply? I haven't found anything so far unless I am just missing it completely. I would like to find a case that can fit only a mITX motherboard, BD Drive, 3.5" HD and 2.5" SSD, and NO Room for a power supply.

tl;dr : I would like to find a case that can fit only a IATX motherboard, BD Drive, 3.5" HD and 2.5" SSD, and NO Room for a power supply.

Are you sure you want an mATX case, and not an ITX case? The motherboard you linked is ITX, and there are quite a few cases for ITX that will fit everything you need, but don't have a PSU slot.

Sorry, brain is not working today, just started building mATX i7 system as well to maybe I am looking at the wrong cases.
 
Yo can probably look at the Apex MD-100 or MW-100 those are small

Yeah dude. Just take out the PSU.... Not a big deal.

After taking out the power supply there is a huge hole in the case. That was the reason I was looking for a case sans power supply or a case that is designed to work without it.
 
well...not really huge in any way... those are very small anyway
 
Antec isk 300-65... Lets you fit 2 x 2.5" drives, 1x slimline, and maybe a 1 x 3.5" if you're creative and remove the internal PSU.

I use one but I kept the internal PSU and just use a single 30GB SSD for my OS..
 
You can't use tin snips to make a plate to cover the PSU hole?
Paint it and you're golden

Stuff like that is easy to fab
