Cubes? I dont know if they have any official term honestly. They are built pretty much specifically for mITX only, you might be able to find some that support mATX.

Cube cases! There's no real classification, but they fit in the tower category if anything.

 

Corsair has the 350D or 450D, I forget, but it's basically a cube shaped mATX case. If you want to get really crazy, Case Labs has some but they can be ungodly expensive (easily $200+ for the basic ones)

Also the Corsair 250D won't support anything bigger.

if your really looking for some sex appeal with the case, look at the new inwins from this year, pretty sexy indeed.

ah this just proves how much of a scrub i am, but what are those?

[Enderman]

they are called SFF cases

more specifically cube type of SFF

 

SFF means small form factor

If you're looking for something with a little bigger support, there are other options like the Fractal Design Node 804 and Corsair Air 240. The 804 is my go to but it has support for a lot of drives and SLI/Crossfire.

I think this would fall under a Mini-ITX tower case?

It's a small form factor case, but not much outside of that and Mini-ITX tower.
