Slim uATX HTPC Case

I hoping someone here can help me find the case I'm looking for. Here are the features I'm trying to find:

1. Slim / low-profile. Somewhere around 4 inches. With low-profile expansion slots.
(like this: http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-108-065-23.jpg)

2. Micro-ATX board compatible.

3. Power Supply: Takes a standard ATX sized power supply. (I don't want some garbage, built-in, non-standard PSU that will be impossible to replace when it dies.)

4. Around $50-75, if possible.


The closest I have found so far is this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112186) but it violates #4.

Thanks.
 
I don't really understand why you want half height expansion slots, but want a full sized ATX PSU. An ATX PSU is just about as tall as a full sized PCI expansion card, so you're not saving any size really. Not to mention a full ATX PSU adds a lot of bulk, don't you want a small case?

There are other PSU specifications, like SFX and TFX. Lots of small cases use those specifications anyway, so it's not like replacing the PSU is impossible anymore.

Hmm, I didn't realize there was standardization for smaller power supplies. I may go that route then.

Also, in the link I posted to the Lian-Li case, the power supply is oriented to minimize width, so it still is considerably slimmer than a full height card.
