Smallest case that will fit any micro ATX motherboard

[Link19]

I'm looking for something that is one of the smallest cases that a micro ATX motherboard will fit in. I also want the case to be good for passive cooling. I'm looking for just a bare case like this. Not one that comes with a power supply as I'm looking for the lowest price possible on a very small case that's good for passive cooling.

Any ideas or suggestions

Note that many mATX cases use custom PSU's, others use standard PSUs but in a different smaller size than a standard ATX PSU.

Also, many smaller mATX cases only accept half-height card brackets for the PCI/AGP slots.

Cooler Master makes mATX cases (tower and desktop) that take full-size ATX PSUs and full-height card slots, but those cases are nowhere near the smallest.

You might try sudhian.com forums or the SFF forum here at AT. Also for quiet PCs check out the SilentPCReview.com forums.

Actually if the mATX case came with a custom PSU that is fanless, then that would be great. I just said without a PSU because chances are the PSU most mATX cases come with is not passive. I don't have any need for the case to fit full height PCI and AGP cards. I only plan to use a couple of half height PCI cards at most.

The smallest that i know of that accept full size cards are the Monarch Computers Hornet Pro line of computers. Or the Antec Aria.

Thanks for the advice. But I don't need one that will accept full height expansion cards. I only plan to use 2 half height expansion cards and no full height expansion cards.
