im currently using icute casing for some time but now i think i wanna change to horizontal casing (or how should it call?) due to space constraint on my desk problem is...is there any GOOD horizontal casing which offers good airflow, got at least 3 internal bay for hdd and is not too thick (i got like 15cm height space horizontally cos ill be putting my lcd on top of the casing) alternative : build my own with acrylic but it gonna takes alot of time which i hardly have  my allocated pc portion on my desk 41"x30" currently my setup is casing at the back of my lcd which im not quite comfortable and b4 i switch to this setup my casing is on my right which is 'quite' spacious from lcd to keyboard but not enough space on the side. hope u guys can imagine it hehe. so i wanna try whether horizontal casing will provide me more space on my desk. 1 more thing, i cant put my casing on the floor cos my desk is custom ordered by my parents years ago that the whole desk is 'glued' against the wall and no hole for the cables to go through the desk due to drawer bottom it. is a very sick design i admit it another alternative : custom build a drawer to fit my mobo + etc into it but drawer height is around 9cm only which i think not enough. but the dimension should be ok.

Most desktop casing don't perform as well as towers though...alternatively.... you could drill the table for cabling...

try to look for old desktop casing, they can fit normal atx well. kinda rare nowadays. i've tried asking 2nd hand shops to sell me the casing but they rather bundle it with the parts than getting rid of the casing only. good luck
