How To Choose The Right Case For Your Build Many variables effect the decision of what case to get for your PC Builder Online. Most of which are- Aesthetics, Space, Compatibility, and price. The purpose of this tutorial is to help guide those who just don't have a clue, or want to get some help on what case to choose. This tutorial will cover all of the variables except for aesthetics, because that is very opinion based, so you can choose what looks good in your mind. First Step: Finding what size case you need.Case sizing all depends on what you are going to be putting into your case. If you see yourself adding custom water loops, or really long graphics cards, or even duel PSU's, you would be looking at a full tower. However if you like small and compact, and don't need that much hardware in the case, you might want to go mid or mini tower. The following paragraphs will go a little deeper into each case size. Mid Tower The most commonly used case size is Mid or ATX sized case. This case will have enough room for ATX sized motherboards and anything smaller than that, i.e Micro ATX, Mini ITX and so on. Most people use this size because it has enough room for everything they need. Motherboard, GPU, PSU, Hard Drives and SSD's, Optical drives, fans, and all that good stuff. Full Tower Next is Full tower cases. Full towers can essentially fit anything and everything. From mini ITX to extended ATX motherboards as well as in some cases, duel Power Supplies, and optimized cable routing hardware as well as plenty of room for custom loop liquid cooling setups. These cases are not used as much as Mid towers because most people don't need all the room for radiators and large
water cooling setups. However if you are going to have a custom water loop and maybe another need for such a big case, full towers will hold anything you need. Here is a picture of a full tower. Mini Tower The next size case would be Mini tower. The smallest of he three, the mini tower allows you to build a very compact build. These cases can fit Mini ATX and micro ITX size motherboards, for the most part you get a mini tower for portability, if you are a heavy LAN gamer and or travel a lot and need a small PC, mini tower is the way to go. For the most part you will still be able to fit decent sized Computer Graphic Cards and power supplies as well, so you aren't that limited. Here is an image of the average mini tower.
