Where one can obtain an ATX case that is horizontal?

Yes, horizontal like the old school desktops where you can set your monitor on. I've been wanting to put my case on the desk but it's just so god awful big it won't fit.

This is my current case.

Chenbro Gaming Bomb II. It's massive. Won't fit on my desk, it hangs off the front and takes up A LOT of room width wise.

I've got a 24" Samsung LCD that I think would look pretty sweet on top of a horizontal case but I can't seem to find anything. The only thing I've seen that comes remotely close is this case:

The Habey RPG-410 Server case. But I think it'd look awfully silly sitting on top of my desk especially since it's a rack mount case. I tried my hand at building one last November. It was going pretty well then I went to cut the fan holes out of the lexan on the back and snappy, snappy, snappy. It broke and I got discouraged and stopped. Mainly because I didn't have enough lexan to continue and no money to buy any more. Now, I'm sure you'll all saying why don't I dig it back out of storage and try it again. Nope. Don't want to be bothered with building one anymore. I want to buy one.

So, anyone have any ideas where I can find one or is the rack mount case it?

You could also look into some full ATX HTPC cases.

Yes, but with more 120mm fan slots. Thanks.

Also found this one now that you mentioned HTPC cases.

Still, I wish there were some that had 120mm fans. I'll keep looking though. Thanks for the help.

LOL, I'd love a new desk. But considering the price of even the cheapest desk it'd be so much easier to buy a new case. And, my wife would be more inclined to allow a new case over a desk.
