Looking for a case, need suggestions

Hey guys, putting together a small rig and I need a smaller case for it to go in. My board is an ASRock H61M-DGS which appears to be just a bit longer than ITX with 2 slots but no wider. I don't think it counts as DTX but its real close.

I'm trying to find a case that will fit basically just the board, I don't need a GPU, optical drive, or a big HSF. The smaller the better, I will be using a picoPSU with it and one 2.5" SSD. Is custom the only way to go? I don't need some nearly mid-tower case for this thing. The only ones that match what I want appear to be super low end cheap ebay cases that I don't want anything to do with. I want some kind of quality case, doesn't have to be aluminum but I don't want it to be a flimsy plastic and extremely thin steel.

Bonus points for something that can stand vertically instead of desktop style.

This is the only thing close to what I want that I've been able to find.

Thanks for the suggestions, its looking like I may just need to switch out for an actual ITX board. I wanted the two expansion slots but I cna live without it.
 
I don't want to steer this topic off track as I hope the OP can find a case, but if you added new mounting holes would this fit in the NCASE M1 as it has three expansion slots and the width of the board is basically itx.
