3 Minutes to Choose the Case that Suits You

August 08,2022

As the assembly carrier of computer hardware, the chassis is simpler and easier to understand than those graphics cards and motherboards full of electronic components.

 

However, with the continuous development of hardware, everyone's tastes are constantly changing, and the structural design of the chassis is actually constantly being updated.

Changes in exterior design

 

In the past, the appearance of the chassis was generally rough, and there were many popular elements such as flying wings, special-shaped cooling mesh holes, and turbines. And at that time, the chassis generally had more mechanical hard disk positions, which made the chassis appear large.

 

Later, with the improvement of the ATX structure, the previous power supply with multiple mechanical hard disk positions was transformed into a power supply bottom, hard disk cage or wall-mounted structure. And the side penetration area is also more and more bold, from a small area of ​​acrylic side penetration to a large area of ​​glass side penetration. At the same time, because of the prevalence of lighting elements, many chassis have added RGB panels and light-emitting parts.

 

Nowadays, more and more people like to put their computers on the table, and the chassis is getting smaller and more beautiful. Simple style and e-sports style are the two most popular styles at present.

 

How to choose a computer case?

 

The chassis is classified into three major items in terms of volume: ATX, M-ATX and ITX. The three types from large to small represent the adaptation capacity of the chassis.

 

Generally speaking, ATX standard chassis can be adapted to 360 water cooling, 4-7 hard disk positions, ATX motherboard, 7 12cm fan installation positions, mainstream three-fan graphics cards and large air cooling can be compatible. Choosing an ATX case means that you can be more relaxed when purchasing accessories, without worrying that the size of the accessories will conflict with the case.

 

The MATX type of chassis is more compact, generally suitable for 240 water cooling (individually compatible with 360) M-ATX motherboard, about 4 hard disk positions, and about 5 fan positions. Moreover, the M-ATX type of chassis is generally cheaper, and it is a good choice for those office-level and entry-level games.

 

The ITX chassis is not recommended for novice users. At present, there is no standard for the volume of ITX chassis, and the compatibility is also different. Some ITX cases can hold 240 water cooling, and some can only barely plug down the pressure air cooling, the difference is large. However, after the ITX's small size and powerful configuration, it can have a sense of contrast to a small steel gun, so it is also liked by some people.

 

After deciding what type of chassis to choose, you can start to choose from the following points.

 

The first is the thickness of the board of the chassis. For the sake of sturdiness and durability, you should choose a specification with a thickness of more than 0.8mm.

 

Then you can choose and buy according to the particularity of your own configuration. For example, if you want to install a large air cooling, you need to see whether the air cooling and heat dissipation limit of the chassis can be satisfied. For another example, if you want to configure 360 ​​cold rows, you must observe whether the chassis has a cold row position. Finally, try to avoid some cases with fewer cooling meshes and unreasonable internal air ducts to reduce the risk of overheating during computer use.
