In the early stage of DIY development, the chassis played a role of placing and fixing various computer accessories, playing a supporting and protecting role, and at the same time having a certain psychological role of shielding electromagnetic radiation.

Today, the chassis not only inherits the functions of the past, but also is the best stage to show players' hands-on ability and transformation talents. The difference in demand has driven the change in the shape of the chassis, so that various boards have been born in the current market, which has changed the monotonous situation in the past. So, what are the types of chassis materials? Let's take a look!

What are the types of chassis materials？

✔️Acrylic side through case

Acrylic sheets have excellent transparency, and the light transmittance of colorless and transparent plexiglass sheets can reach 92%. In addition, the acrylic sheet also has the weather resistance of flow, strong adaptability to the natural environment, long-term sunlight, wind and rain will not make it change. , Acrylic side through the chassis can see the use of the hardware in the chassis, if the accessories in the chassis have lighting effects, the color will be a different feeling.

✔️Sound absorption and noise reduction chassis

The so-called active noise reduction is no longer blindly increasing the thickness of the board to passively and inefficiently block the noise, but adding high-density suction cotton to actively absorb the noise, eliminating a large part of the noise before it is transmitted to the chassis board, thereby enhancing the noise reduction effect. The material of the sound-absorbing cotton not only has a good sound-absorbing effect, but also has good heat dissipation. With several large-sized silent fans, it really kills two birds with one stone.

✔️Glass side transparent case

Different from ordinary glass, tempered glass is generally used in the glass side see-through case, which forms compressive stress on the glass surface. When the glass is subjected to external force, it first offsets the surface stress, thereby improving the bearing capacity. Compared with ordinary acrylic and plastic side panels, the side panels made of tempered glass have stronger light transmission, so after building a light pollution platform, the visual effect of the tempered glass case is better, and the abrasion resistance of tempered glass is better. It should also be stronger than acrylic. After a period of use, it will not be scratched like acrylic, which will affect the appearance. In addition, due to the large weight of the tempered glass, it can effectively stabilize the body and prevent the chassis from resonating. Therefore, tempered glass is more and more popular with chassis manufacturers and DIY players.

✔️Aluminum chassis

Aluminum chassis often have the characteristics of excellent heat dissipation, electromagnetic shielding, and light material. The chassis of this material is very textured whether you look at it or touch it, but the price of aluminum chassis is very expensive, and the appearance of the chassis is very high. Changes are also less. Compared with the steel plate, the strength of the aluminum plate is lower, especially the upper plate, the side plate, and the side plate that is not installed on the chassis. If you accidentally step on it, it will leave irreparable dents.

✔️Plastic case

Compared with metal materials, one advantage of plastic materials is that shaping and coloring will be very simple, which increases the look and feel of the chassis. However, the quality is also clear. The plastic material not only has low strength and cannot absorb electromagnetic radiation, but also is more prone to scratches and difficult to maintain.

✔️SECC chassis

SECC is electrolytic lead galvanized steel sheet. It is a stamping material, that is, a zinc layer is plated on the surface of the cold-rolled sheet, and the surface is smooth and gray. Anti-rust and corrosion-resistant, but the price is relatively high. The general plate thickness is between 0.4~3.2mm. SECC material is more common in big brand computer case manufacturers, and the price is more expensive than hot-dip galvanized sheet. So, we can see this material in high-end gaming cases or server cases.
