Smallest case with E-ATX support (or that can do it unofficially)

I've been offered a free Aorus Z390 Waterforce motherboard..

Which is great, it's like a £1k motherboard so it's hard to say no despite it forcing me away from my Ryzen and into a bigger case.

The case is the main issue though, I've little interest in a humongous case as my PC sits on my desk in front of a window.

What cases would you recommend in terms of being as compact as possible? Are there any that could take the board even unofficially, like are the standoffs in the same place as ATX up to the far right hand side of the board? I think I could live with that.

I like plain aluminium boxes with windows, I've only ever built in Lian Li years ago and when I recently got back into it I chose an NZXT H200 in black.

Thoughts?
 
Turns out on reflection the board is only about 3cm bigger than ATX so I reckon I can get it in a normal ATX case.

Bigger issue now is all a new bits I'll need and being bothered lol
