Tower Type Computer

The document discusses different types of computer cases, including their sizes and typical uses. Full tower cases are the largest and can support high-end gaming components, but are more expensive. Mid-tower cases are the most popular as they allow for most components while still being reasonably sized. Mini tower cases are smallest and limit upgrades due to their size.

What is Computer/PC Case
The computer cases are a visible part of our computers called PC towers
and Computer towers. Its function is to serve as a protective structure
for the rest of the internal components where they will be assembled.
And yes, the cooling system is one of the main components of any PC
case. There should be enough space inside for air circulation and large
radiators that a powerful PC needs.
Along with characteristics, it is necessary to highlight their size
and type of execution, which can be either vertical or horizontal.
The following are the computer case sizes and models available in
the market.
Full Tower

1. Middle Tower
Mid-tower or ATX format is the most popular and widely used
computer case that allows you to use many drives and almost all
types of motherboards with acceptable overall dimensions in it.
The average mid-tower size is up to 20 cm wide, up to 45 cm high.

Inside the mid-tower case, there is more enough space for


installing full-size components, such as most extensive video cards
over 300 mm long, and this case capable of using 120, 140, or
even 200 mm fans for a positive effect on cooling the air.
If you want to build a regular gaming PC, not as hardcore gaming,
then Mid Tower is most likely your right choice. This case is about
31 cm long, which is easy to install a full-size video card and two
to three expansion slots thick.

Besides, the components inside the Mid Tower will receive


adequate cold airflow. With proper use of fans (and regular
cleaning from dust), the video card and processor temperatures
will never exceed 70-80 degrees Celsius, even in the most stressful
conditions.

It is considered a universal option for desktop users because you


can assemble a wide range of designs, a low-power office
computer, a home media center, and a gaming computer.

2.
Firstly, Full Tower is used to accommodate an E-ATX or CEB
motherboard. This is very useful for high-performance servers that
can use two processors and a massive RAM and other storage
units at once.

The full tower size is up to 20 – 30 cm wide, up to 60 – 90 cm


high, and up to 1 m long with increased capacity. It can have from
4 to 9 5.25-inch bays (for optical drive). Allows you to install up
to seven expansion cards, such as a sound card or a receiver.
This type of computer case comes with proper size and weight,
which usually has better internal cooling. Of course, their prices
are a little high. That’s why enthusiasts, administrators have
always used full Tower cases, and hardcore streaming gamers
. Such a case provides better cooling for two top-end graphics
cards and a processor like the Intel Core i9-9900K, and allows you
to create a custom cooling system with 230mm fans.

Buying a Full Tower is worth it, but only if you need space for a
large number of components or need a lot of airflows to cool the
powerful processors and cards.
3. Mini Tower
These types of computer cases are designed to take up as little
physical space and without installing decent-sized graphics cards.
The average mini-tower size is up to 18 cm wide, up to 25 cm
high(they can sometimes be smaller).

The Mini Tower chassis is the smallest in size and not very
popular among computer assemblers due to the limited volume,
which does not allow assembly of a more or less productive
computer and low airflow. Mini Towers are an increasingly
common choice for regular home PCs – both budget and enough
for standard video games. Regarding their possible uses, given
their limited size and expansion capabilities, their benefits are
quite limited.
4. HTPC and SFF
HTPC stands ‘Home theatre PC’ for and SFF stands for ‘Small
Form Factor‘. These types of cases were considered very niche,
but in recent years they have gained popularity due to the
miniaturization of powerful components that can fit in it..
HTPC is the perfect choice for the computer at your home
multimedia entertainment. You can place it under the TV table, or
even you can hang on the wall. And the computing power of this is
more enough to play music and video in any modern format.
Also, such a PC will not make a sound – often, you can have
passive cooling.

SFF takes little space. Due to their small size and lightweight, they
can be an excellent alternative to laptops. Some SFFs are handy to
come with handles or unique bags to make them easier to
transport. Also, the SFF has a significant advantage over a laptop
since it has more power at less cost.
What is the computer case
used for?
The computer cases are a visible part of our computers which are
also called PC towers and Computer towers. It is used to serve as a
protective structure for the rest of the internal components like
motherboard, RAM, Hard drive, cooling fans, and other expansion
cards from the external influences.
Which computer case is the
best for gaming?
The full tower computer case comes with fair size and weight,
which usually has better internal cooling. Of course, their prices
are a little expensive. That's why Full Tower cases have always
been excellent for gamers and enthusiasts for playing games and
online streaming
What computer case do I have?
There are four types of computer cases in size full-tower, mid-
tower, mini-tower, and SFF(Small Factor Form). You need to
measure the size of the case then you will get to know which type
of pc case you have. However, the Mid-tower is the most popular
and widely used computer case with almost all types of
motherboards with overall dimensions acceptable in it.
