    The computer case, also known as the computer chassis, tower, system unit or base unit, is the enclosure that houses most of the internal components of a computer. Cases come in different sizes and forms known as form factors that are determined by the motherboard size. Popular form factors include ATX, microATX and small form factors. Case modding involves customizing computer cases with features like clear panels, internal lighting, or unique materials.

    Computer Case

    BY MARVIN

    Computer case is also known as a "computer chassis", "tower", "system unit", "base unit" or simply "case". Also sometimes incorrectly referred to as the "CPU" or "hard drive", it is the enclosure that contains most of the components of a computer (usually excluding the display, keyboard and mouse).

    Cases can come in many different sizes (known as form factors). The size and shape of a computer case is usually determined by the form factor of the motherboard, since it is the largest component of most computers. Consequently, personal computer form factors typically specify only the internal dimensions and layout of the case. Form factors for rack-mounted and blade servers may include precise external dimensions as well, since these cases must themselves fit in specific enclosures.

    For example, a case designed for an ATX motherboard and power supply may take on several external forms, such as a vertical tower (designed to sit on the floor, height > width) or a flat desktop (height < width) or pizza box (height 5 cm (2 in), designed to sit on the desk under the computer's monitor). Full-size tower cases are typically larger in volume than desktop cases, with more room for drive bays and expansion slots. Desktop casesand mini-tower cases under about 18 inches highare popular in business environments where space is at a premium.[

    Currently, the most popular form factor for desktop computers is ATX, although microATX and small form factors have also become very popular for a variety of uses. In the high-end segment the unofficial and loosely defined XL-ATX spec appeared around 2009. XL-ATX extends the length of the Mainboard to accommodate 4 graphics cards with dualslot coolers. Some XL-ATX mainboards increase the Mainboards width as well, to allow more space for the CPU and Memory PWM, and in some cases a second CPU socket. While the market share of these exotic highend mainboards is very low, almost all high-end cases and many mainstream cases support XL-ATX (10 expansion slots). Companies like In Win Development, Shuttle Inc. and AOpen originally popularized small cases, for which FlexATX was the most common[dubious discuss] motherboard size. As of 2010 mini ITX has widely replaced FlexATX as the most common small form factor Mainboard standard. The latest mini ITX mainboards from Asus, Gigabyte, Zotac and Foxconn offer the same feature set as Full size Mainboards. Highend mini ITX mainboards support standard desktop CPUs, use standard memory DIMM sockets and feature a full size pciE 16x slot with support for the fastest graphics cards. This allows customers to build a fully fledged high-end computer in a significantly smaller case. Apple Inc. has also produced the Mac Mini computer, which is similar in size to a standard CD-ROM drive.

    Further information: Case modding Through the 1990s, most computer cases had simple rectangular shapes, and were often painted beige or white with little attention given to visual design. Beige box designs are still found on a large number of budget computers assembled from generic components. This class of machines is still known as white box computers. Case modding is the artistic styling of computer cases, often to draw attention to the use of advanced or unusual components. Since the early 2000s, some cases have included clear side panels or acrylic windows so that users can look inside while it is operating. Modded cases may also include internal lighting, custom paint, or liquid cooling systems. Some hobbyists build custom cases from raw materials like aluminum, steel, styrofoam, acrylic, or wood.
