Good small case?

Soon, I plan on doing a full upgrade to my system, case included. Currently, I'm running out of a Super LANboy Antec case, and well I can't complain. The only reason why I'm even upgrading it, is because the front USB slots are busted (mostly my own fault), and just a general wear and tear on the outside of the case. And the general "look" of a new computer.

Now, since I've gotten this case I've gotten a rather nice computer desk, the only problem is the size of the cabinent in which the case sits. (Its 22" deep, 19" high and 12" wide)

Almost every case I have come across that is of reasonable quality is far too large. If not, they tend to only just fit, which is something I want to avoid due to heating concerns.

Is anyone aware of a case that could easily fit into my cabinet, or should I start looking at other places to put my system?

I'd like to avoid Small Form Factor cases, I like the room offered in towers and the space for a lot of expansion (down the road I may upgrade to SLi)

So far, the only case that I found from Antec, Lian-Li, or Thermaltake that fits those measurements is the Soprano, however, it barely fits in terms of height and since the IO panel is on the top of the case, it is rendered absolutely useless (which is something I'd like in a case)
 
You hide your cases in a cabinet? They're meant to sit on top of your desk for the world to see, jmo.
 
I am a bit of a neat freak, honestly. It looks a lot cleaner with the case tucked away. Plus, having the tower sit next to my LCD looks a bit akward with how everything is poisitioned.
