Verticle menu in WordPress admin

Has anyone seen a plugin or hack that will allow a verticle menu in the admin section – one that also lists out the links without having to use a drop down or click on that main menu item? For example:
Write
Write Post
Write Page
Manage
Posts
Pages
Categories
Comments
Awaiting Moderation (0)
Files
Backup
Links

etc., etc. I’ve just don’t a very entertaining merge of wordpress and cubecart (cubecart isn’t live pending ssl) via https://kamalaspa.com, and I’m wondering if it’s going to be easier to make cubecart’s menu match wordpress or vice versa. I’ve already styled them to look almost exact save the menu. Thank you!
