I was wondering how small case I can get and still install 200W graphics card inside without overheating or any additional issues. Couple of days ago I found Silverstone Milo ML07 in pretty good price and since I didn't like the look of plastic parts, grills and some other things then I decided to make something with it.
I made it also because some forum members were looking for small gaming case. At the end I wanted to put MSI motherboard and some other parts in a case as I'm moving it often between home and work.
Standard Silverstone case looks like this:

max GPU: ~81*C while folding
Modifications:
Plasti Dip cover - white, "rubber" finish + red paint on sides/top
Removed standard grills and added new black alu
Changed sleeving on power/reset/LED cables
Removed drive bay ( some cutting )
Hardware setup:

MSI Z170I Gaming Pro AC ( WiFi/Bluetooth included )
Gigabyte GTX1070 Founders Edition
Patriot Viper 4 2x4GB DDR4-3600@3733 XMP timings 1.35V ( option to switch to 16GB when needed )
Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SATA SSD ( option to add M.2 SSD )
Corsair SF450 - 450W Gold 90+ ( passive till 50%+ load so for most of the time )
