You either do like everyone in the SFF community those days and get an NR200, or you get a boutique case, because mainstreams case makers don't know how to make a usable ITX case that isn't just a smaller full tower, or under 20 liters.
+1 except for the volume. May be the lesser number of ITX cases is due to the lesser number of ITX systems. I don't have statistics on that though. I feel like there are conflicting requirements from people towards an ITX case. They began as HTPC usage and then people wanted more: have the biggest GPU on the market, then put AIO, then full water-cooling loop, biggest passive cooler out there and so on...to the point that my GPU has a computer on it (instead of vice versa). On one side you get super compact, puzzle-solving builds for under the TV/desk in some small corner and on the other hand you have fairly big ITX cases which fit a lot of high-end hardware and to my sadness mobility is out the window since the days of NZXT Vulcan. I for one, don't want a small ITX case (like you suggested 20< l). May be with age, but what I am looking for is convenience and I can't have that at the moment.
