Horizontal form factor? (any recommendations?)

[Baldrickk]

I currently have a mini-itx case (https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-nano-s/black/) which I love the style of, but I'm considering leaving the mini-itx form factor behind for my next build, in order to support more expandability.
My current case fits perfectly in the open cabinet under my TV in my lounge (VR user) but a larger upright case would not fit.
There is however space to expand sideways, so I'm potentially looking at a case with a horizontal form factor, which would still be good looking in a smart, understated way.

I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations to throw my way.  I'm struggling to find many cases that support horizontal orientations without being htpcs, and being subject to size constraints.   Thanks.

MAybe something like the Lian Li O5/6/7 SX series? quite expensive but fits your description somewhat? Or Node 202 although thats still mitx

The Node 202 is sexy AF, but as I said, I am looking for a larger form factor.  Something like that, just a little bigger, and with a bit more cooling capacity would be fantastic.

I've just been checking up on the Lian Li 06 SX and that looks exactly like the sort of thing I'm looking for - though being a 2013/14 design it's both hard to find, and doesn't have e.g. usb3 front I/O.
So still looking for any further recommendations, but that is definitely the sort of case I'm looking for.

Ooh, that looks good.  Looks like it has good cooling too.
Checking it out some more though - the PCI-e slots only support a single graphics card with a riser, so any other pci devices would not be able to be used...
This defeats the whole point of switching to a larger form factor for the expandability.
