For my home server, I pick the smallest case that can fit a desktop CPU, so just a bit bigger than Intel Nuc. Those have laptop CPU's, you are overpaying. I am willing to pay extra for it to be small.
The two best contenders for me are Asrock DeskMini barebones system (picoITX) and IN WIN Chopin case - you gave to buy an ITX motherboard.
I use Chopin with an Intel CPU, they work for my usecase.
Also some motherboars can boot a ryzen without any GPU at all. Asrock usually will. If you are willing to deal with a totally headless system, go for it.
