Smallest full-size ATX case?

While not specifically SFF per se - I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of small cases for regular ATX style motherboards? I've got a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R that I need to put in the smallest possible area. Only needs a single HD, no cdrom or floppies.
 
The smallest I know of is the COOLER MASTER Elite 360. There may be some HTPC cases that will take a full size ATX that are smaller though.
 
The Auzentech GMC R-2 Toast, or toaster case for short is the smallest atx form case I've run across. If you're not using an optical drive, it has a plate you can snap in place to cover the slot. Kinda slick...I built one for a relative a couple of months ago. Small, cramped, but everything fit just fine. The front area in gray light's up blue along with the power switch.

The only drawback is the metal on this case is pretty thin, but the paint quality was excellent. Resembled the Antec Sonata piano black in color/sheen.

I took one shot of it here before I shut the case up, maybe you can get an idea of the size from this pic. Measurements are roughly, 11 1/2" x 7" x 16 1/2"

Best,
