(Dimentions 0.69 x 2.20 x 1.44 ft3 (WxHxD))
2.2 feet in hight is about 670.56mm, that's OK, the width is 210mm

(you are not able to place a 12cm fan at the back by the motherboard (on the place ther now the 80mm fan is) It's the same problem there is with the chieftec dragon/matrix series. (big tower) (only 5mm wider)
Biggest downside is the floppy drive at top! (looks like the old A-Open cases)

The Entry Server Case made by Enermax (post by punish3r) is NOT a full tower.
(only D558 x W219 x H540 mm) but the width is quite impressive.

The Enermax CSF7200BRP ATX file server (D640 x W250 x H650)
It has the right dimentions, but the prize.... and a lot of modding to do
(place radiator at the botom, PSU at the top)

The Lite-On FS-020 (post by Caeberos) is NOT a full tower.
(Dimensions:235*535*463.15mm) but the width is even better.

For now (to me that is) the chieftec's still look the best prize / feature wise.
I only wish there was a simular case with a width of 220-250mm
