Like the title says, I'm looking for as small possible ATX case. THis is going to be a HTPC build. probably just going to use onboard graphics; so no need for a case to hold a massive gpu.. I'd like as small as possible. but something that will indeed hold an ATX motherboard.

Any suggestions?
 
Something like this if thermals are not really a big issue (Might not be with onboard GPU)

Another option again if thermals are no problem you could go with a A05FN instead if you need ports in the front.

Another option and this is a newer chassis but looks somewhat compact is the Cooler master N600

Or N400

Those offer acceptable thermals for faster systems but are a little bigger. That's just what I thought of off the top of my head hope it helps!

CM Elite 361 or Antec VSK-4000 are a bit smaller than both of those.

The Elite 361 might be ideal for you because it's shorter but longer (or something like that); might fit better in an entertainment center than a traditional case would.

Lian Li PC-V650 is the smallest of Lian Li's offerings. PC-V700 is quite small too. They are discontinued recently, but if you look around you can still buy them.
