what is the name of a high PC tower?

back in 200x i bought myself a tower from maplin that was over 600mm high. I loved that tower even in its disgusting off-white state.
I've been trying to find a similar case since i became nostalgic a few weeks ago. I don't even know what to call this sort of tower. searching has been fruitless except for one image search on "pc housing high tower"

"full tower case" or "file server case"

Thank you, you're the best.
may i ask, is there a type of case that is taller?

That looks similar to the Chieftec big tower i used to have in the early 2000's, look for one on ebay

I had one as well! Brilliant case. Think it was made/ branded by Suncom (or similar). It definitely wasn't a top of the range removable motherboard, rolled edges case but it had acres of room. I think it even came with a PSU.

Chieftec Dragon's, Antec rebranded the same chassis from memory. I still have a silver one somewhere I think. I also had a Juno P6 with DangerDen Cube mounted in the front with a Thunderbird AXIA and Maze 2.1 with peltier. That thing was insane back in the day.
