The PC system unit case is as important a module as the high-tech elements of the computer. The case determines the placement of components, their characteristics, cooling system, and reliable external protection, which means that all equipment will operate stably. When choosing a case with a power supply, you should understand all the existing parameters of this module, calculate the power and take into account the possibility of future upgrades.
Characteristics of computer cases
The first and most important characteristic of a case is its appearance and type of placement. In the catalogs, you can find used horizontal and vertical cases. Workplace equipment is important for a comfortable time at the computer. The appearance of the system unit is called the form factor (size):
- Micro-ATX
- Midi-Tower
- Mini-Tower
- Slim-Desktop
You may need to buy a PC in a small case for office spaces with limited space. The compact usff model fits even on or under the smallest desks.
Standard case colors are black, rarely other colors. Gaming cases combine design and high technology. Materials of manufacture are steel or steel-plastic.
The next step after choosing the appearance is to study the technical characteristics of the case. Each type of case has a mount for a specific type of motherboard:
- ATX
- CEB (E-ATX)
- microATX
- MiniITX
The type of board determines what components - processor, RAM, number of hard disks - can be installed. When choosing a used case with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, users plan external connections in advance.
Before buying, it is worth determining which components will be installed, their power consumption, and the need for cooling. An average office PC consumes up to 350 W, while cases with 1000 W power supplies are designed for design or gaming machines. It is also worth paying attention to cooling - overheating of power-dependent components can lead to breakage.
When choosing a used case from Europe, pay attention to the manufacturer. The best brands:
- DeepCool
- DTS
- Lenovo
- Logic Concept
- Qube
- Vinga
