Micro-ATX tower case?

[cjm]

Hello all and Merry Christmas!

I was wondering if anyone has come across the item that I am currently
looking for:

I am trying to find a very small tower case, suitable for a micro-atx or
mini-itx motherboard, standard atx power supply, and 4 5.25" bays on the
front. Although this seems (to me) like a pretty reasonable thing to ask
for, I am having absolutely NO luck in finding one!!

Ideally, I would like something that was about 15" deep, about 5.5" wide,
and as small in height as possible. I have so far found one or two cases but
they seem to have maximum 2x3.5" bays, 2x5.25" bays and a big waste of space
beneath them!

If anyone has ever came across anything like this then a point in the right
direction would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris

You've got no chance. The whole idea of microATX is that it is a small
form factor.

I got 3 of these. If you want more bays add a couple USB 2.0
enclosures. They're as low as $23 at newegg.

Thanks for the help, but having four 5.25" bays is priority #1 for me! I
dont need any 3.5" bays at all so having 5.25" bays instead would be the
most useful.

Im thinking more along the lines of something like this:

....although with a number of 5.25" bays running down the front instead of a
waste of space.

Cheers again,
