Okay, so the title explained pretty much everything... But the thing is, I want a true desktop case. I don't want another tower, because I just don't have room for it. If anyone could point me to a great place to buy a case that I could lay under my monitor and have proper access to the 3.5" floppy drive as well as disc drive, I would be eternally grateful.

This is one of the more common ones, but it looks like NewEgg doesn't offer this one any more.

Maybe search for the model (HEC 7106WW for white and HEC 7106BB for black).

I had one of those Hec's. It was more of a soft white and not beige

This case actually doesn't look to bad but unfortunately I can't find it online anywhere and I highly doubt I'd find one locally as this kind of stuff isn't popular here. Hmm..

I'm actually going to order one of these, it looks like I can easily find it on TigerDirect for about $60, and they don't look bad. Definitely going to be a cramped setup in here, but it'll be so worth it!

They ship internationally.

I bought one of their case before and I have only good things to say about their customer support.

I really like the look of that, but it looks like that case is discontinued and even if it was available the import fees would probably kill the idea. I think I'm just going to go with the one linked above, but thank you very much 😀

You order through their main case page http://www.evercase.co.uk/Cases.htm
Shipping is £23 to Europe, probably similar for international. Regarding import fees, I believe it's simply another layer of VAT, so 20% of the final price + $5 or $10 in processing fees. You may be able to buy it VAT free as you're abroad. Best to ask them directly though.

I feel very stupid, I looked at the wrong one on that site... Thanks 🤣, I'll probably do that then!
