Types of Computer Cases

Desktop

Desktop computer cases are for the models of PC that sit on the desk horizontally. As far as computer cases go, desktops have the least amount of choice available on the market. Although the majority of new PC's come with towers or mini towers, some are still built around desktops.

Mini Tower

Most towers are specified by the number of internal drive bays they possess. Mini has 3, midi has 4, and full size towers have 7. These do vary depending on the manufacturer but most can be defined by the number of drive bays.

Full Tower

Full towers normally have 7 drive bays and are the most expensive towers to buy cases for. There are midi towers that are generally 4-5 bays but not all online stores and catalogues separate the two different sizes.
