Any known mITX Cases that will support a mATX motherboard?

[evident]

Looking to pick up an Asrock J3355M motherboard (Intel Apollo Lake low powered atom CPU/MB) since I have desktop DDR3 lying around. Asrock also makes a mITX board that supports laptop DDR3 but obviously I don't want to buy any more DDR3 sticks.

Wondering if there are any mITX cases that could fit this motherboard. It obviously won't need much cooling since it's low powered. I would also get an external pico PSU so that I don't have to cram a PSU into a case.

Can someone sanity check me or let me know if this is possible?

I can't think of any. That would kinda defeat the purpose of making an mITX case.

The Thermaltake Core V21 (see link below) is the micro-ATX version of their Core V1 mini-ITX cube case. The Core V21 is 336 mm x 320 mm x 424 mm (H x W x D) compared with the Core V1 that is 276 mm x 260 mm x 316 mm (H x W x D). So, it's still pretty small. Plus, the Core V21 is stackable.

Yup. What they said. A mini-itx case that supports microATX motherboards is called a microATX case.

and yet, for some reason, a mini-itx case that supports mini-dtx is called a mini-itx case.

Because nobody knows what DTX is. *shrug*

Or NLX. Or BTX. Or EBX. Or...

You get the idea.

That is true, dual expansion slot* Mini-ITX is Mini-DTX compatible.

And the Mini-DTX motherboard will be called Micro-ATX by the manufacturer and retailers like Newegg (Example here).

*Without using a riser.

I thought there could be an off chance that a matx board could fit in an itx case if a huge power supply wasn't installed. I see some designs where I *think* it could be done as the motherboard sits right next to the power supply but was hoping someone had made that attempt before me doing a $50-100 science project 🙂

I'm using one of the below with an ITX board that has two PCIe slots (DTX?). The farthest out slot has a dual slot video card (had to modify the card a bit), so I think (but cannot guarantee) there would be enough space for the board, but not the standoff positions or anything.
