Looking for a NAS tower case under 45cm height (8x 3.5" HDDs)

Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade the case for my home NAS. I'm currently using a Fractal Design Core 2300, but I need something with better drive density.
The build is based on a standard ATX motherboard with several PCIe cards but no GPU. The main requirement is that it needs to hold at least 8x 3.5" HDDs while staying under 45cm in height to fit my setup. I don't really care how wide the case is, but I definitely want to stick with the tower form factor rather than going for a rackmount chassis.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a shorter tower that can still cram in that many drives?
Thanks!

How about the Jonsbo N5? It's an almost cube shaped case, 35cm tall, 36cm wide and 40cm deep. It can fit an ATX system, with 8x PCI expansion slots. It can accommodate up to 12x 3.5" HDDs.
