To be honest, I think people are missing the obvious here on why they used this computer case. Cost. I don't know Everex' product line (remember, Wal-Mart isn't building this PC, they are ordering it in, albeit possibly to their custom order), but I bet Everex uses this computer case for a large number of their computer products. That, or it's one they can get in cheap since they use a different model from the same manufacturer. Either way, although yes there are plenty of small form factor cases, I bet this was the cheapest one they could get and still keep under a certain price to build, and thus a certain price to sell.
As for not being "green"...guys, this actually isn't that large of a case at all. A small form factor case would be shorter, but wider. It would take up less volume, but not by all THAT much. It's not like Everex is putting this PC inside of a server tower built to hold a 8 hard drives and 6 optical drives or some such.
