Computer Cases

There are two basic styles of cases the computer may come assembled in. They are basically tower and desktop style cases.






Desktop style



Tower case



Desktop style is in the shape of a rectangular box, that sets flat on a desk. Usually the computer monitor is placed on top of it. A tower case, looks similar to a tower as the name says. These computers will be placed off to the side of the keyboard and monitor. The tower case is the most popular style of desktop computer today. It is also recommended by some microprocessor manufacturers since it can be designed for better heat dissipation. Tower cases come in several sizes which are:
  • Mini-tower - The smallest.
  • Mid-tower - The standard size, recommended for most applications including standard desktop systems and some servers.
  • Full-tower - The largest. Usually this is a very tall case and you may have a difficult time fitting it where overhead is limited. This case is usually used for high powered servers.
