Usually the PSU comes with very small microatx cases. _________________

| To start off with a mini-Box build take a look at the Antec P180 mini cases. |

While a mini-box system is a good way to save space in your home, there is a certain flaw with them is they use special components and most of the time they're not that easy to find.
The antec is a mini-tower and compare to other mini-box it is big, but
one advantage it has is it uses industry standard components so if one of your items go kapoot at least you will have a few places to get your replacement parts.
If you still looking for a mini-case then how about this one?

^ Seriously stop talking
ALL hard drives will fit in a microATX case, you dont need to buy a special microATX hard drive...
They have a special motherboard, caleld MicroATX motherboards,,, Usually the same as ATX motherboards but smaller...
Sometimes your graphics card will fit... but they have been getting pretty big so maybe not.
All optical drives will fit (see hard drives)
All CPUs will fit (as long as they are on a MicroATX motherboard and fit the socket)... _________________
