Buying the casing...

Computer Casing!!!

When it comes to building a computer, of course you must have the casing, unless you dont mind it being naked..LOL..



1)Good Air Flow
2)Right Size
3)Tooless Design



When it comes to casing, we have to be fussy and decisive..LOL!! Well,i am, because this is the one that everyone is going to look at..So there's a lot of factors when choosing the right casing..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Good air flow is important in choosing a casing as it helps to keep the inside of the computer cool and this will help in increasing performance of your computer.

A casing with a good air flow usually have a lot of ventilation for air to pass through and adequate amount of fans to absorb the cool air in..

Also,choose a casing that has holes on the motherboard tray for good cable management. This will help manage your cables by hiding them behind and thus improves air flow inside the case as the cables are not blocking the airflow..one example is below


One casing i would highly recommend is the antec 900..as it is very affordable and have a lot of fans and ventilation..but for those that is one budget, cooler master elite series should be ok for a decent price..=)

Size is also important for choosing a casing..

U have to determine your motherboard form factor (look in the motherboard section if you are unsure about this ) before actually buying a casing. This will determine whether ur motherboard will fit in the casing or not..

For example if you are planning to have an ATX form factor motherboard, either a full tower case or mid-tower should be enough to fit it in.

Tooless Design is a great add in to your casing as it helps minimize the use of screwdrivers. With tooless design, you can easily lock the positions of your hardwares just by pressing it down or clicking on it..how simple is that..

Here's an example of how tooless design looks like..
