I am currently a proud owner of an Antec Skeleton, but I have several gripes, noise and security (it is an open case after all), but most of all: size.
I am looking for a case I can put on my desk (like my Skeleton now).
It has to be able to house a 3.5" HDD and my GTX280.
Apart from that, no requirements. I am in possession of a PSU, but I don't care if the case has one integrated.
It has to look nice, it will be on my desk. Colours don't matter.
My ideal case would be something like the SilverStone SUGO SG07. Only that is a Mini-ITX case. Result: new mobo that makes it impossible to install my PCI-E ASUS Xonar.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or maybe someone I can contact to have one built?
I am looking for the smallest case possible. Buying a new mobo is not out of the question. Focus on cooling, like the SG07, would be a plus.
Thanks in advance for helping me, and thanks for reading this :)

P.S. I am familiar with gaming cubes, and they may be what I'm looking for (http://www.directron.com/cubecase.html), it's just, these are really ugly, and are more something a teenager would think is cool (the ones on that page, anyway). I'm looking for something more like the SG07, something that looks a bit more inconspicuous...
EDIT: Maybe I should mention some designs I like... http://www.boxgods.com/dept/htpc-sff/index.php?Action=Article&ID=212 and http://www.anandtech.com/show/2147/5 are real easy on the eyes, so to speak. Maybe there are more cases like this?
