Would like a small, sub 12-liters volume, std PSU, 2 slots prefer for video, itx case without 5.25 bay. Rather have reduce volume or 2.5"/3.5" hd slots instead of a useless 5.25.

I was hoping Lian Li would have something for 2013 at CES, but fail. All theirs small volume ITX cases with expansion slots still have useless 5.25 bay.

get the cooler master elite 120. yeah it has the 5.25 inch slot,

but it is 50 bucks it fits a full size psu and has everything you want. there are lots of gear that can fit in the 5.25 besides the big dvd player. i built 3 systems with it.

I built a rig with the CM case. It is certainly nice for the money, but is much bigger than the sg07 for sure (15 liters vs 20 liters)

Don't know if these are under 12 liters, but they take standard ATX PSUs (though can't be super long), support long dual slot graphics cards, have a number of 3.5" bays but no 5¼" and are ITX.
