suggestions for a small case

I'm building a new computer, and I'm looking for the smallest case that supports the following:

1. Fits a regular atx mobo
2. Fits a regular atx power supply
3. At least 1 internal 3.5" bay, preferably 2, but I don't need an optical drive.
4. I'm only using 1 pci-e expansion slot, so I'm ok with funky things like riser cards, etc.

I need this to be a powerful machine: P35 mobo with a core 2, plus a geforce 8800 series.

Basically, I will be moving this computer around very often, so I'm looking for the smallest case possible thats the easiest to move around. Weight is not a concern. I'm open to non-standard cases like the Silverstone LC04. Only reason I don't like it is because it doesn't take a standard atx psu.

So, can you guys help me out?

Edit: I don't absolutely need a full atx mobo, but are there any microATX mobos out there with good core 2 overclocking ability?
 
MircoATX generally aren't suited for overclocking. Most of them have onboard video chipsets which will limit your overclock.
 
nMedia 300, Antec has some Super LANBoy in their B Stock store (pretty compact for an ATX case.

One of the buyers' comments said it swallowed his X1950 OK - I think those are as long as the GTX.

What they say is: May have some minor cosmetic imperfections. Most the time they are near enough to new to make no diff.
