Best PC Cases

Corsair Cases

When selecting computers, we typically prioritize processor power, graphics card performance, and the amount of RAM, often relegating the choice of the case to a secondary concern. However, the design and features of the case are crucial, though they are frequently overlooked.

We tend to ignore aspects like the size of the case, the quality of the glass material, and the presence of dust filters and ventilation openings. This oversight can be a significant error, as the longevity and efficiency of the components are directly influenced by the case quality.

We will delve into what constitutes an ideal case for a gaming computer and highlight the key features to consider to prevent issues during the PC's lifespan. This includes understanding the importance of adequate space for airflow, the role of dust filters in maintaining cleanliness inside the system, and how the right materials can enhance both aesthetics and functionality.

Additionally, we will explore how innovative case designs can contribute to easier maintenance and better performance, ensuring that your gaming PC remains at the top of its game.


Cooling

Gaming components generate a considerable amount of heat. High temperatures accelerate natural degradation – a process where the internal structure of microelectronics wears down, leading to the failure of computer components. To slow down this degradation and extend the lifespan of these components, a performance cooling system must be implemented within the case.

The cooling characteristic of a case is primarily determined by its fans. These fans direct airflows to ensure that hot air is expelled from the system unit, while cold air is drawn in from outside through ventilation openings. To achieve this circulation, fans are installed in the case, typically attached to the front panel, as well as to the back and top walls.

Having only one exhaust fan in a gaming computer is insufficient. Such a system will hardly draw in any cold air. This might not be a significant issue in budget gaming PCs with components that generate less heat, but in high-end systems, the presence of multiple case fans is essential. They not only enhance the overall cooling efficiency but also ensure a balanced airflow, preventing hot spots and maintaining an optimal operating temperature for all components. This balanced cooling is particularly crucial for high-performance components often found in premium gaming setups, where overheating can severely impact both performance and hardware longevity.

Dust filters

Ventilation openings in a computer case should be covered with dust filters – metallic meshes that prevent fine particles of dirt from entering the case. Without these filters, the system unit would quickly accumulate dust, significantly compromising both the appearance of the computer and the efficiency of its cooling system. Dust can clog the fins of metal radiators, obstructing air circulation and reducing the effectiveness of the cooling system.

It's crucial for these filters to be placed in front of the intake fans – where the cold air is drawn into the case. While filters are not strictly necessary on the exhaust side, where hot air is expelled, having them there can still be beneficial. They help to maintain a clean internal environment, ensuring that the internal components remain dust-free and operate at optimal temperatures. This is particularly important for gaming computers, which often run at high loads for extended periods and are therefore more susceptible to overheating and dust accumulation.

Mesh or glass

Computer cases with mesh front panels for fans are quite common, but many manufacturers, for aesthetic reasons, opt for a glass front panel instead.

There's a perception that glass panels are problematic because they block ventilation openings, leading to overheating of computer components. However, cases with glass front panels do have ventilation openings, just not at the front but on the sides. This is usually sufficient to ensure that the system does not "suffocate" and receives adequate airflow.

Nonetheless, it's true that cases with mesh front panels typically offer more efficient cooling. The components in these cases tend to run a few degrees cooler, and their fans operate at slower speeds, which reduces the overall noise level. If these aspects – cooler component temperatures and quieter operation – are important to you, then choosing a computer with a mesh panel would be advisable. Mesh panels facilitate better airflow, allowing cool air to directly reach the internal components, which is particularly beneficial for high-performance gaming setups that generate more heat.

Power supply location

In addition to coolers and ventilation openings, the placement of the power supply unit (PSU) within the case also significantly impacts air circulation. Traditionally, the PSU was mounted at the top of the case, but in most modern designs, it is positioned at the bottom. This bottom placement is generally considered more efficient because it prevents the PSU from drawing in hot air from the processor and the motherboard's power system.

When the PSU is at the bottom, it typically draws cooler air from under the case or from the side, which is cooler than the air inside the case. This not only helps in keeping the PSU itself cooler but also aids in maintaining a lower overall temperature inside the case. The separation of the PSU from the other heat-generating components means that the warmer air around the CPU and GPU doesn't get pulled into the PSU, which can improve its efficiency and lifespan.


Case size

The size of the computer case indeed has a significant impact on the effectiveness of cooling. Larger cases generally offer lower operating temperatures for components, as they provide more space for air circulation and can accommodate larger or more numerous cooling fans. This doesn't mean that achieving effective cooling in small cases is impossible, but it is more challenging from an engineering perspective.

For instance, in the HYPERPC TERRA line of miniature computers, engineers have addressed this challenge by arranging components vertically and complementing them with large metal radiators. This vertical arrangement optimizes the limited space in small cases, allowing for more efficient airflow. The large radiators increase the surface area for heat dissipation, which is crucial in compact builds where space constraints can limit cooling options.

By using such innovative design techniques, it becomes possible to achieve cooling performance in small form factor PCs that is comparable to that of standard-sized gaming PCs. This involves careful planning of component layout, air pathways, and the use of high-efficiency cooling solutions. Such designs make miniaturized PCs a viable option for users who need performance computing in a compact form, without compromising on thermal performance.


Glass material

The side viewing window on a computer case is typically made from either plastic or tempered glass. Based on experience, plastic tends to scratch easily and can deteriorate quickly – even a single wipe with a cloth can leave fine scratches that significantly mar the computer's appearance. Therefore, it's always important to check the material of the viewing window.

Tempered glass is often the preferred choice for several reasons. It's more resistant to scratches compared to plastic, ensuring that the case maintains its aesthetic appeal over a longer period. Additionally, tempered glass offers a clearer and more unobstructed view of the internal components, which is particularly appealing for those who take pride in their PC's internal layout and lighting. The durability of tempered glass also adds to the overall sturdiness of the case.


Number of drive bays

When choosing a computer, it's important to consider how many storages drive bays the case can accommodate. For instance, if you have three hard drives but the case only has space for two, you won't be able to install the third one.

Also, keep in mind that you may need to expand your storage capacity in the future. It makes sense to look for computers that offer a larger number of drive bays. Given the rapidly increasing size of files, programs, and video games, the need for additional storage will likely arise sooner rather than later.


Front Panel Connectors

The presence and number of connectors on the front panel of a computer case are not a deciding factor, as you can always use extensions, adapters, and USB hubs. Additionally, external devices can be connected to the ports on the motherboard at the rear of the PC.

However, having these connectors on the front panel can make the use of the computer much more convenient in the future. It's recommended to consider cases with at least one USB 3.0 port on the front panel. Having two 3.5mm Jack connectors for headphones and a microphone is also desirable.

Front panel connectors offer easy and quick access for frequently used peripherals. For instance, a front-facing USB 3.0 port provides a convenient connection point for high-speed data transfer devices without needing to reach around to the back of the PC. Similarly, having headphone and microphone jacks on the front panel makes it much easier to connect audio devices without fumbling with cables at the back.


Conclusion

Let's briefly summarize what kind of case a gaming computer should have:

  • The case must have several fans for blowing and blowing air;
  • Ventilation openings must be covered with dust filters;
  • The power supply must be located at the bottom for proper circulation;
  • The viewing window must be made of tempered glass;
  • The case must have space for installing new drives;
  • The number of connectors on the front panel should be sufficient for convenient operation of the PC.

What cases are used in HYPERPC computers

HYPERPC gaming computer cases meet all the described requirements. They feature a bottom-mounted power supply, a high-quality cooling system, dust filters, and viewing windows made of tempered glass. This thoughtful design in HYPERPC's best cases not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your room but also ensures long-term and stable operation of the components.
