Types of Tower Cases

• Full tower cases are commonly used for gaming PCs and office workstations that require high-performance components like third-party graphic cards and fast multi-threading CPU. Mid tower cases are the most common size for the everyday user and often sold in stores. These cases have some room for optional internal components. Mini tower cases are usually used for office or home PCs where the requirement for additional internal devices and adapter cards is limited. Slimline cases require low-profile adapter cards but can be oriented horizontally or vertically
