It seems I'm needing to find an ATX case that is a little shorter than normal. The computer shelf on my desk only has 16 1/4 inches of clearance, or about 410mm I think. All of the ATX cases I can find are too tall by about 1/2 inch. Anyone know of a case that would fit? I would prefer the color to be black also.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Short ATX case?

LIAN LI PC-A05B Black - Case uses a reverse airflow design and has 2x 120mm fans for good ventilation.
If you decide to pursue the A-05 route, here is some reading.

If you don't like the reverse airflow of the PC-A05B, Lian-Li also makes the PC-A59B. It has front-to-back airflow but also has the power supply over the CPU, restricting your CPU-heatsink choices. There is also the PC-V600B (upside-down ATX) and the old-school PC-3077 (all-drive-bays front).
Yes, I favor Lian-Li.

Get the A05. You won't regret it. I recently build a computer for a friend using this case. Truly simplistic design and it's compact. You get a touch of elegance in a compact design. If I could sell me antec 900, I would get this case. Cable management is doable too.
