Low-Profile ATX case?

    My computer is big...a little too big. I have a low-profile CPU cooler and a low-profile video card, all I'm missing is a low-profile case. Unfortunately, I have a full-sized ATX motherboard and I have yet to find a good case that supports a full-sized ATX motherboard but is low-profile at the same time.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    That thing is huge, actually bigger than my current case. I want something that is compatible with ATX but is low-profile. Imagine something with the PSU mounted over the CPU, no external drive bays (who needs a DVD drive nowadays?), a single 3.5' or 2.5' drive bay, and 7 full-height or half-height expansion slots. Does that even exist? I'm probably going to have to do something custom.

    This might be a little too deep, although other than that it's basically exactly what I'm looking for: http://www.plinkusa.net/web2260sv.htm

    I'll have to measure my current case when I get home tonight to make sure that it's actually going to be smaller than my current case. I might have a look on eBay to see what they have to offer. But thank you very much for that suggestion, 2U rackmount cases seem to be just the ticket.
