Best mini-ITX case that's both compact and has good breathing room for a GPU?

I have this compact ITX system setup in the living room using an EVGA Hadron Air case. I like the design of the case and how compact it is. However, I recently had to shave down some of the interior wall to get an MSI RX 580 card to fit/install. The system still works just fine, but the GPU is extremely close to the PSU now. I've tested some games and yes, the video card does get very hot. I see EVGA makes another variation of this case called the 'Hadron Hydro'(intending for water cooling the CPU), but it still doesn't have too much room between the GPU/PSU.

I was thinking of getting the ThermalTake Core V1, but it is a bit bulky(and I don't want to put it on the floor). It's going to be on an L shaped corner table w/ a big 4K display and 2 KRK Rockit 8 speakers on the sides.

Is there any case that comes to mind that you guys think would work fine? õ_Ô

Looks like those are all mid tower cases, ideal for micro-ATX builds. I'm looking for cases specifically designed for mini-ITX boards. That S340 you mentioned(saw it on display at Fry's)... my current Hadron Air case is nearly 1/2 the size of that one.
The Crystal case is really nice. Although it's also too big for what I'm looking for.

Also, not much of a budget... but I also don't want to go crazy on a case for something I'm only going to use a few hours a week.
