Small ATX case

I need a little advice. I have an ATX board, but I want the smallest case possible. This rig had full size ATX PSU, hard drive, and no floppy. The tallest thing on it is the Radeon 7500. Right now, it is running on my desk, and I need some sort of enclosure. (cardboard is not an option here)

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Nate

Is this a full size ATX board or a micro ATX?

The smallest full ATX is about 17x6x17, and that would be a desktop, not a tower. Towers are closer to 17x8x17.

Yes, its a full ATX. I don't care if its a desktop or a tower. I guess I just need to know what some of the better small cases are. I've used the enlight towers and Chieftech towers, which are both too big for this one.

Actually, I had considered using a briefcase, but most aren't tall enough for the Radeon 7500 card. Time is also an issue. I've been modding my main rig for almost a year now, and the progress is slow. Between work, school, and being married, these projects take a long time to finish.
