What is the smallest possible off the shelf Micro ATX case? The ability to install a 3.5 inch HD is important but I do not intend to install an optical drive and don't need the slot. A fairly thorough search leads mostly to fairly large cases which defeats the purpose of a relatively small motherboard. For reference I would regard this case as still too big.

I intend to use the AMD A10 stock cooler and will not over clock and will use the onboard GPU for graphics and will not install a separate graphics card.

The Silverstone Grandia 06 looks amazing and is pretty small at 440 mm wide by 150 high by 340 mm deep--two thirds the volume of the TJ-08e, in case that's what you were thinking of. It's a bit expensive though, at $104.99. I'll look for something less expensive and/or smaller, if you want.

Also, you never posted what case you considered to be big--please link to it for future reference.

These Xion cases are pretty small. Also sold as a Pixxo brand, and available in other colors.
