4 types of
Computer Cases:
Tower
Case (Full, Midi and Mini)
These cases usually sport up to multiple drive bays, and as a result,
are the most expensive computer cases in the market. There is actually
a middle-ground tower, called the midi, which can host 4-5 drive bays,
but some manufacturers don’t usually separate the two types. Tower
cases are differentiated by the number of drive bays that they support.
Mini towers have three drive bays, though the number may be different,
depending on the company or store that you buy your case from.
Desktop
Case
This type of case in which the monitor sits on top of the case has the
fewest alternative available on the market. But even with proliferation
of Tower Cases, some computers are still based on this type.
Portable
Case
This type of case
is usually the lightest and the most portable in the market. Commonly
use by Notebooks, Laptops, Tablet PC Case, and PDA’s (Personal Digital
Assistant) such as a palm pilot and blackberry.
All-In-One-Case
This type of case
is very popular with Apple computers, it is slim and cool looking, and
the only drawback of course is if some component breaks inside your kind
out of luck.
