I'm actually on the lookout for a small case but for a different purpose - I want to build a NAS enclosure that will hold at least 4 full size 3.5" drives in the most compact form factor possible. I was hoping one of those might do the trick but they are not geared towards 3.5" HDD

The Fractal Node 304 is an ITX case which handles that use-case pretty well. It's the smallest ITX case I know of which can fit 6 full-size 3.5" drives.
Great case. Shame there are no AM4 ITX motherboards with 6x SATA3 ports.

There are m-ATX AM4 motherboards with 6x SATA3 ports. Can anyone recommend a case smaller than a Node 804?

Thank you for that. Exactly the answer I was hoping to get.
