Uh - what did computer cases used to be called before the tower?

Hi-

Custom cabinet built around a computer case - the kind that used to lie down before the towers hit the market.

1) Does anyone know if there is a name for that kind of case?
2) Where can I buy one...

Desktop cases.

(Most are media center cases, but they still make the occasional old style desktop).

And you can always lay a tower on it's side.

Thanks for your response leew

I went to the link you provided but it was not apparent to me where the old style desktop cases were that you mentioned.

I understand that hard drives these days are OK on their side - I would anticipate awkwardness with CDs and DVDs...
