minitower
Shorter desktop enclosure
A minitower is a compact computer case designed to stand upright, smaller than a full tower but larger than a desktop case.
It typically accommodates fewer drive bays and expansion slots than its full-sized counterpart while still allowing reasonable upgradeability: The minitower fits easily under my desk.
