Small computer cases

I'm looking to take some of my older equipment (ATX motherboards) and put them in smaller cases as I upgrade my server towers. One of the goals is to find cases that are super-tiny and quiet, yet take an ATX motherboard. So far, I have found the following (looks like there are 5 main manufacturers):

Asus T-5AB mid-tower, 235W
Antec SX630-II Mini Tower 300W
CasEdge 3000S ATX Mid Tower 300W
Enlight EN-5100A2 Micro Tower 200W
In-Win S700 ATX MidTower 250W
Antec PerformancePlus AMG MiniTower 330W

The last one seems to be a fairly nice, ATX, mid-tower, 8 bay design that focuses on noise reduction. One of the places I need to check out is 2CoolTek who carry a decent selection of fans and cooling items. Or Dirt Cheap Drives which is another store that I've used in the past to find supplies.
