Cases or Enclosures                                                                     In our opinion Antec Enclosures are second to none

When purchasing a computer case there are a few things that should be taken into consideration

• It needs to look good as you going to look at every day for years

• It needs to offer the installed components adequate cooling

• A good quality enclosure will offer excellent noise suppression

• Consider what the front facia looks like, glossy fronts with complex covers to hide your DVD drives and USB ports are okay, but what happens if you want to add an extra drive, sometimes simple is much nicer

• If your after an enclosure for a high end gaming machine consider using an aluminium case - aluminium has a great ability at dissipating heat

• You will also find that dearer cases also come with a much more robust and reliable power supply
