I'm looking for the smallest ATX case there is. I need it to fit an ATX mobo and also a gtx 550. Window and cable management are not necessary.

Any suggestions?

Get a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, they are reasonably sized and are the perfect case for anyone.

The Arc Midi is huge for a mid-tower. If you want something small, the Antec One is smaller and lighter than most mid-towers.

I agree about the weight aspect, as my one weighs a ton, however on both manufacturers sites they show the size of the case is it looks like Height and Width are similar with the Arc Midi being 15mm lower in depth.

Yep. The Arc Midi is very wide for a mid-tower, but it's pretty average otherwise. It also uses thicker steel than others so it's heavy. If you look at some of the biggest mid-towers like the HAF XM and Antec 1100, the Antec One is very small.
