I can see myself having trouble getting any kind of alright looking case for good money. Is the cpu fused to the motherboard on the E350M1?

I had seen that one but unfortunately:

asrock e350m1 motherboard come with integrated AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics and AMD Dual-Core Processor E350. if you would like to throw in a more powerful graphic card, it has 1 pci express slot available. any of these apex mini-itx cases will be perfect for it.

Thanks for the suggestions from everyone. Shipping a case to me will be a problem, the costs are a little too high and i'm looking to save some money here.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use a Sky Box with the innards removed?

Do you think these would be able to properly fit a mITX mobo with CPU GPU etc?

From another site:
