0 Do You Know When Desktop Computer Cases

Most peoples do not know when desktop computer cases have a normal temperature or are overheating. It's very easy to find out and you do not need a specialist for it.
We have to look at 3 things when we try to manage the computer heat:

• The area where is the computer
• The space inside the case
• The fans inside the case

With few images, I will explain what a bad or good computer case may look like.

The Bad Guys Eat The Dust One Day Or An Other.

Observe the image on the right. This is an old mini tower ATX. ATX computer cases like this are very small and the room between the DVD cage on top and the hard drive cage on the bottom is too small.

No Space To Cool Down

The DVD and the hard drive drive their heats on each other. Imagine having a "3.5" floppy drive in middle of them. I think you got the big picture, are you?
The only good point I can give to this old case, it is the fan fixed to the back. But even with the fan, the case will likely overheat.
The fan will by no means pass through the heat fast enough to keep the computer case at a normal temperature. And there is also the processor, motherboard, graphic card, all this produce some heat too.
The reason why I would buy such a case, it is because I would build an old computer like a Pentium 2. I would forget about the "3.5" floppy drive for getting a minimum of rooms.
The conclusion is!
The parts of your computer suffer the most from the heat. Over time if the case is not adequate, your parts will fall apart.

The Good Guys Always Win.

On this black desktop computer case image you see the difference of rooms in contrast of the other.

Enough Space To Cool Down

In the hard drive cage there is enough rooms to mount 3 hard drives and 1 "3.5" floppy drive. And 3 DVD drives into the other. Of course it's wrong to do so. By loading that much drives, you are running into problems.
By keeping things in a realistic way like mounting 1 hard drive and 1 optic drive instead of loading it to its full capacity, you are keeping the computer case in good shape and avoid the heat problem.
Fans on the back indeed help a lot on the cooling process. Of course 2 fans is a good thing, but not a requirement. In most cases, 1 good fan should be enough.
If you are not feeling safe with 1 fan, then go for 1 more, but I recommend using desktop computer cases with an extra fan onto the left panel or onto the back of the case like the one on the image.
Personally I do not like 2 fans. It is a matter of noises. Of course I am not talking about top notch tech here and in general, regular computer cases with 2 fans are noisy.

Why I Like Desktop Computer Cases USB Front Panel Connectors?

Nowadays, computer cases come with USB connectors. Most likely USB 2 technology. Most cases have the USB connectors on the back panel, but some have USB connectors on the front too and this is just lovely.
When you do not have an easy access to your back panel connectors, it comes in handy to have the connectors on the front. I know it sounds a bit lazy, but after a while, you will be happy to have it if you use USB devices on a daily basis.

Where Is The Best Spot To Place Your Computer Desktop Case?

Your computer needs to breathe somewhat. The ambient air must be able to go through the computer case. Do not station the computer somewhere it cannot breathe. Use your judgment, you will find the best spot, I am pretty sure.
