Cheap Computer Cases
Selecting a cheap computer case is a somewhat neglected issue. Cases are generallly low on the list of important features when you select a new computer.
Take a look now at the different
types of cases and what features to consider when you select a cheap computer
case.
I do paperwork on my desk and so prefer to have my computer case on the
floor under the table.
If you don't need a great deal of computer components in your case then
you can select a mini tower or slimline case that will take up less room.
If you are looking for cheap computer cases have a look at these great deals.
Let's take a look at your choice of size and shape when you choose a
cheap computer case:
1. Desktop Case
 This
is the classic style of case. The desktop
computer cases are good if you want your computer on top of your desk. It saves room if
you have the monitor on top of the case. Having the monitor raised like
this also helps your posture when you're working.
This style of computer case went out of date but is making a comeback because
of the compact style.
2. Micro Tower Case
 These
are popular if space is an issue. This is a smaller version called the micro
tower case. Micro tower cases are harder to work with inside but do save
room. You can find a nice selection of micro-tower
computer cases here.
3. Mid Tower Case:
This
type of case can sit on the floor under your desk. I prefer the look of
this type of case over a desktop. It is larger than a micro-tower case;
but smaller than the full tower cases below.

I think mid-tower
computer cases look more futuristic and cool. You can find them with great design features
and for under $50.
4. Full Tower Case:
A full tower case won't fit under any desk and it won't fit on a desk either.
It's huge and takes up a great deal of room. The best thing is that it has
heaps of space inside for many hard drives, CD ROMS and full sized PCI cards.
It also looks inpressive, like a big mainframe thingy. Another advantage
is that these cases are heavy and may stop criminals from removing your
precious computer.

computer cases here.
You can impress your friends with a monster size case. Bigger is better
right? You can get full-tower
computer cases that are great for a high performance computer. Most have a nice 430 Watt
power supply. (Modern graphics cards require high output power supplies
of 350 Watt minimum). |

Novelty Cases:
These days computers need not look like boring beige boxes anymore!
 Because
so many people build there own computers there is a big market for people
who want something different looking or who want extreme performance cases.
You can find a range of colored cases with matching keyboards and mice.
You can get blue, black, yellow and even...RED. Some cases also have a clear
side window so you can see all your flash components inside.
 All
those badmen out there who cannot stop tweaking and overclocking their computer,
you will want a case with a water cooling system and heat exchanger to prevent
thermal stress of your processor, but man, keep it cool-looking too!
You can find novelty and high-performance computer
cases here.
What Features You Want Inside The Case:
The number of drive bays is important if you want to expand your computer
with things like CD-writers, DVD drives and extra hard drives.
There are two different types of drive bays the 5.25" bay and 3.5" bay.
With 3.5" bays, you should distinguish between open bays (for floppy or
ZIP drives) and closed bays that can be used only for hard drives.
5.25" bays are for CD ROM drives and DVD drives. Make sure you have enough
of these so you can add a DVD drive or CD writer later.
Also think about places where you can put fans. Three or four are ideal.
Do not be content with only two.
The design of the case is also important. Design means the features that
faciliate handling and installation of parts. Look for smart ideas like
removable drive frames or motherboard shuttles. Motherboard shuttles are
a big metal plate that can be removed easily, carrying the motherboard plus
all expansion cards. Good case design also includes space for extra fans.
