Tall and shallow Case?

I currently have a Coolermaster 690, and its fine. However I've moved my computer into the cupboard and due to its depth I have to have it angled .

If I put it horizontal up against the wall then I end up kicking it.

I don't really want to buy a whole new set of internals, so I want to stick with an ATX case and one that takes 6950 size graphics cards.
Height is much less an issue. I have about 20 cm of space on top of the 690.

The 690 only JUST misses out so it doesn't have to be much smaller. Cables connected from the top would be helpful too.

that case though tall is actually wider than the CM-690
How wide are you looking at, and would a midi sized tower case be worth a look at?

Thanks for the pointers. I think the bigger problem with Lian Li is that its £400. I can switch over to a mATX at that price.
That Zalman looks a bit cheap but i'll check out some reviews of it.

I probably shouldn't have specified tall. Width is not a major issue. I can go to about 35-40 cm.

Just saw the Carbide 540 Air which is the closest I can find to my criteria of short depth for an. Any similar systems to that?

edit: HAF XB is has less depth but more width. under consideration also though.
