Actually, Directron offers both for $64 and $62 ...
  http://www.directron.com/miniitx.html

They also offer a 3688 for $70 that is smaller (2.5" x 8" x 10.5"), if
you don't mind putting in a 2.5" HD:

Kicker with that case is no riser.

But they have the CL10000 for $148:

I'm seriously considering a Mini-ITX for a firewall, but I just can't
bring myself to spend the dough just yet.  I'm still running with a
Pentium MMX and 32MiB RAM, and IPCop hiccups when I enable Snort as well
as Traffic Shaping.
