I recommend building one. It's easy and inexpensive.
I made one from a 20 gallon long.

I checked the http://www.all-glass.com website, and
they have something they call "20 High" which is
24"x12"x16" - that would almost fit my opening, except
I am exactl 24" wide and the tank might have a frame
little bit wider or be not exactly 24" but 24"+1/8
and I am screwed :-)

But with that height there is some room to play with :-)

Had some pieces of window glass cut to size and siliconed
them in. You can make any arrangement you like, and if you
get hold of a used tank, or if you have an extra one,
it will save you a bundle compared to even a small hang on 'fuge.

Right now the money is not as important as not to have
the tank teared apart just to fit a bigger sump in the
cabinet... So I need to either - make one from scratch
or find some 24" long which would fit giving me more room
than my regular 10 gallons tank I currently use: 20"x10"x12"

Have you looked into the Rubbermaid/Sterilite type storage tubs? They
come in a wide assortment of sizes and shapes, and there are lots of
folks who use them successfully for sumps/fuges. You can use smaller
containers set inside the main container to create compartments.

I've seen pics of reefcentral of some pretty neat sumps made this way.
