When choosing a case for a computer, you must consider the area of ​​use of the device, as well as the personal preferences of users. The quality of work and the implementation of all the necessary functionality largely depend on a properly selected case. It will be possible to make the right choice only by assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various PC cases, we'll talk about the best of them in 2020 below.

Case selection rules

When choosing an outer shell for a computer, the purpose of using the device is of great importance. Also the compatibility of components and the ability to carry out a cooling procedure for the normal functioning of the device.

When choosing, consider the following criteria:

• case size - the user individually determines the size of the device, depending on the functions for which the system unit is designed;
• material - steel and plastic can be used. This combination prevents possible damage. Recently, however, users have opted for tempered glass for an interesting design;
• motherboard size - the size and type of case depends on the type of motherboard. With standard board sizes, it is necessary to give preference to large product sizes, which will reduce the risk of possible overheating;
• cooler size. Several cooling coolers are recommended for high-quality computer cooling. Also, each case has a certain space for installing an additional cooler, which must also be taken into account when assembling a computer yourself;
• video card size - when choosing a product, you must take into account the length and width of the existing video card. Also, many models provide for the ability to use several video cards simultaneously, which should also be taken into account when choosing a product.

A case for a computer is selected taking into account all the components that will be used, an incorrectly selected shell reduces functionality and leads to malfunctions.

Types of computer cases

Computer cases can be of various types and configurations. There are two types: with and without power supply. However, in recent years, preference is given to the latter, since a powerful unit can be matched directly to a gaming type of computer.

The following product subtypes are distinguished depending on the size:

• MiniTower - small models that are most often used for office work, as they have low power;
• MidiTower is one of the most commonly used types. The size of such a device is 183 x 432 x 490, which allows the computer to perform all the necessary functions without overheating and failures;
• BigTower - large cases are most often used for video games, they have the ability to install multiple video cards. Such devices can be used as a server PC.

It is also necessary to separately highlight the models by the method of placement, these are vertical and horizontal.Despite the fact that the vertical type of devices is more compact, most often users choose horizontal models. This is due primarily to the ease of use and the availability of a high-quality cooling system.
