Desktop models?

Will you be offering any StealthPCs in a desktop case instead of a tower? The horizontal orientation can be better for home theater/media center PCs. I guess that means the side vent for the CPU will actually be on top and can't be blocked, but that's a common requirement for A/V equipment.
