Looking for a smaller version of the Corsair 250D, advice or suggestions needed.

Hi, I have a friend is looking to get into ITX. He is coming from a Cooler Master HAF XB and likes the horizontal motherboard layout with PSU on bottom. I offered him my old Corsair 250D, but he said he wanted something even smaller. So I suggested the Thermaltake Core V1 or V1 Suppressor, but he didn't like the aesthetics of those cases. Anyone know of a case with a similar layout to the Corsair 250D, but smaller? Thanks!

A bit pricey + a wait, but the CaseLabs BH2 is a pretty clean case.

None will really be any smaller, not from the big manufacturers at least. Plenty of cases with a horizontal board, though, not with the PSU on the bottom. Most smaller ones put the PSU directly over the motherboard, limiting CPU cooler use to something slim.
