Need help/choices of a smaller footprint PC Case

When I say small footprint I mean it literally. A lot of the smaller cases while sleek, still take up a fairly decent amount of desk space.

I'm looking for cases along the lines of the NZXT H1 which have legitimately small footprint. Height doesn't matter at all.

Cases with support for larger cards/better cooling would be ideal, but isn't a complete deal breaker.
 
I don't really know of other cases other than the H1, so figured this would be a good place to ask!

You could try the Corsair Mini 2000D. From the looks of things its a similar size for half the price.

 

The TT Tower 100 is also pretty nice. It does have a larger footprint but you can get some beefy hardware in there and still keep things cool.

I'm kind of just putting the feelers out and finding what options are available. I have an original NZXT H1 and really enjoy the footprint of it, but wasn't aware of what other options might be available.

Contemplating putting my old 5800X3D & 3080 into it for a LAN PC or for guests when they stay once I upgrade my personal rig to a new platform sometime next year.

I do love the look of the TT Tower 100 I must admit but doesn't look like it can have the cooling that the Corsair Mini 2000D could have, so that might be slightly more in line with the desired outcome!

Thanks for the help folks!
