Hi, I thought to give this a shot
I'm currently building a DIY NAS and I got most of the components ready, except Mobo. Before this I was going through different NASes and my eye got caught on the HP Mediasmart Server and Media Vault G1 systems. Mostly cause I really like the style of their cases. For example the Mediasmart would be a great case for DIY NAS but unfortunately you can't fit even a mini-itx board there.
Now the Media Vault G1 would seem to accept a mini-itx board (according to this http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2011/05/17/hp-media-vault-generation-1-new-life-for-an-old-friend/).
So, to the main question... are there cases that resemble these or are very close to them (small, quite clean, nice, functional)? I know NAS server cases are not meant to be looked at, but since I gotta cram my system in living room, I pretty much have to
Some examples:
