I went and looked through some micro-ATX cases, and found some interesting options. It kinda depends on your needs though.
If you want a completely silent setup, and don't need a GPU, the FC5 OD Fanless chassis seems pretty awesome. It has a passive CPU cooler, and is really tiny at 43x32x6 centimeters. Heat worries me a bit though. I've never tried a passive CPU cooler, but I'd imagine temperatures will get pretty high under load.
If you're in for something a bit more traditional, the BitFenix Prodigy M seems like a good case. It's cooled using traditional air and fans, so it won't be as quiet, but I'd imagine temperatures would be a lot better. You'll also be able to fit a GPU in there if you need.
Now, I've got no experience with any of those companies, and can't vouch for their trustworthiness or the quality of their cases. I just spent some minutes searching for pretty micro-atx cases
