Advances in Computer Cases Are For Extra than Just Looks

Many computer case manufacturers make boxes that look first-class, but some recent developments contain a case that is both very good-looking and highly useful. For used computers enthusiasts, there is no element of the machine that you name your own that goes unnoticed. From the most significant components like the hard drive, processors, audio card, video card and memory to the little details like the interior adapter ribbons and fans, every particular component comes together to appearance the whole. And while it's true that a right constructed and tweaked machine is a thing of attractiveness, one thing that appeals to just about every fan is the box itself that is the computer case.

Some cases are clean glitz, featuring wild lighting, clear side panels that depiction the guts of the machine, and numerous other gimmicky elements that, while attractive, lend no real worth to the computer itself. And while it may at first show as though an passion with the computer case is a matter of inspiring form over function, there are some latest advances by several computer case manufacturers that are combining smooth designs with some concepts that are planned entirely as functional upgrades.

Most prominent among these is the Level 10 computer case, which was designed by Thermal take in teamwork with BMW Design works. The Level 10 case truthfully is a sight to behold and, though it is targeted typically toward gamers and their need for advanced graphics and audio, as well as a great contract of processing power and memory, it is clear that the producer may be onto something that finds its way into normal computer design. With a heavy price tag that is just under $900, it will be fairly some time before the Level 10 or other cases like it make their way into typical computing situations, but the advantages offered by the new casing are such that mission dangerous computing environment rather than gaming surroundings appear to be the most likely purpose for these cases.

First off, the new method of case offers what the manufacturer refers to as "Open Compartment Architecture" or "O.C.A." The O.C.A. is designed so that each of the machinery of the computer is individually covered. This allows various mechanisms that need greater cooling requirements to be remote from other components, and for cooling fans to be located close to such components. In addition, all components are simply accessible, making hardware upgrades and swaps very simple.

The case's cooling system is also a thing of splendor, though in this instance there is no aesthetical element. Two 60mm intake fans are situated in the top of the box, while another 140 mm intake is located at the front of the box. A 120mm tire out fan in the rear of the box keeps air circulating. Lastly, the company has added built-in security for the hardware itself, or what it calls the "Smart-Lock Security System" or "S.S.S." The system allows the user to lock the tower so that the components inside the case cannot be accessed. Other significant features of the case include three drive bays, ATX motherboard support, aluminum construction, 8 expansion slots, 4 USB ports and liquid cooling means.
