Has anybody found a small ATX Case? The smallest one I've found is the lanboy, but I need something smaller :
13-14"(H) x 6-10"(W) x 14-15"(D)

Would it be possible to make my own about this size and still squeeze an ATX board, a small PS, and a hard drive in? Any good resources on this topic?

I'm trying to avoid micro atx, but I may have no choice.

Thanks.

the smallest ATX case i found was from here:
small case
they got deals on pricewatch to lower the price too even ;) The only thing is it has an inverted PSU so no big HEatsinks but other than that i think there pretty good little cases...

I would get an Antec LANBoy, even thought it's a bit larger it is very lightweight and looks awesome.

I think it would be very possible to make a case that size. Most every case will give you room for cdroms and other stuff and if you know you dont need it then go for it.

What will this be used for?

This will sit in the back in my 2003 Infiniti Qx4 suv. There is some space behind the wheel well which is approximately the size stated above. It would be just small enough to squeeze in and hide under the toneau cover.

I have a Xenarc VGA 7in LCD TouchScreen for the dash. Together, I plan on using it as a NAV/MP3/DVD/CD/TV/PC/INTERNET and anything else kewl I can make it do.

Thanks alot! I think that is THE smallest full ATX case out there. W x D X H (mm) w/Bezel: 200 x 400 x 340

After some more mobo research and a few measurements of my car, I decided to try out the micro atx MSI 845GEM-L. It may be just small enough to fit into a pocket in the cargo area of my SUV. The dimensions are very tight, but hopefully it will fit with minor modification and still leave room for the other components.

If this doesn't work out, I'll probably choose the SUPER PIV ATX TOWER case.
