| Question: |
Does the case choice really matter when buying a Computer?
|
| Answer: |
Yes, A properly cooled computer starts with the case. A good PC Case will provide many spaces for fans in addition to metal construction for heat dissipation. Acrylic cases may look better but they will not cool as well. Aluminum has slightly better heat transfer characteristics than steel (the two most commonly used case materials) but either material will work fine. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. Look for a case with at least one spot for a hard drive fan, a blowhole fan at the top of the case, a fan on the side panel, and plenty of space in the rear to mount a powerful fan to evacuate all that heated case air. In addition, 120mm fans cool better while making less noise than smaller fans, so pick a case which will accommodate as many 120mm fans as possible.
