Best small ATX case for < $80?
I am looking to get the best case I can for OCing that is under $80. I do not need a PSU. I don't care that much about looks but more about function and size (smaller the better.)

I'm a fan of the Thermaltake Soprano it's a mid tower case and pretty cheap. Great build quality. LINKY $59
Good Luck on your decision  .

I personally like to stay away from small cases(space/cooling)...but I have a pretty decent gaming laptop as well as a desktop so I assume I get the best of both worlds. Anyways if you choose to go with a very small case make sure the items you put in it are compatable. If you are going with air cooling I suggest the Vantec Tornado for cooling. I believe they come in 80-92mm sizes and they push out more air than a 200mm and they also sound like a small desk-fan =p.

I run a Mini Tower which supports ATX motherboards.
It's a tight fit but it's convenient. I highly recommend my Antec, but it comes with a 380watt power supply.

I'd have to say that the Antec 300 is about the best for that price. On the otherhand, You can get the Antec 900 on newegg for $80 after mailin rebate, so if you want to include that, then that would be best.
