Mini-ITX case that takes a micro-atx board?

[deusexlumina]

A daft idea i know

However soon i'd like to get a small compact build underway for a HTPC. Only problem is the expense of m-itx mobo's. Old AM2 m-atx board would do the job fine and at a low price, and so was wondering if anyone knows of any cases out there which are small enough for m-itx but also just about fit some m-atx boards inside them?

Particularly liking the look of the in-win m-itx case, but after seeing some piccies i doubt any m-atx boards would fit inside.

Erm, no.

Surely you mean a MATX case that happens to be as small as physically possible for MATX.

A mini-itx case by its very design will never take a MATX mobo.

Think paradigm pretty much summed that one up.

If you want small and aren't needing high spec why not look at an atom or ION?

Something like the Antec Minuet is probably the smallest you're going to get.
