I would love a small MicroATX case without support for DVD-RW or 3.5" drives. MicroATX is inexpensive and effective (cases usually support standard ATX power supplies and PCIe cards without a riser, it's easy to mount a full-size GPU and common heatsinks, etc), but it seems hard to go significantly smaller then my own case (cm 36x36x17). But there's a lot of empty space in the front, so it should be very easy to get the depth down to 25-26 centimeters or something like that.
But I couldn't find anything like that, either you get flatter, HTPC-like cases designed to stay horizontal, or cube cases (which aren't so nice IMHO, since they take more horizontal surface on the desktop), or you need to find a small mini ITX cases (which can get very small, but they may require SFX power supplies and can be harder to cool down).
A desktop is still a nice thing to have. They can be quiet even when the workload is consistently high.
