 Type Of Casing
Casing also called system is a box like
case that contains electronic components
of the computer.
Type of casing design :
1. Desktop
2. Tower (Mini Tower, Mid Size
Tower, Full Size Tower)

Desktop is designed
so that the system
unit fit entirely
on/under a desk
table.
In some models, the
monitor sits on top of
system unit, which is
placed on top of the
desk.
Desktop

Most of the casing
now using a tower
style.
This design enables
the system unit to sit
on the floor vertically.
MINI TOWER

Advantages:
Excellent size which can be placed on top
or below of a computer desk.
Disadvantages:
While this case does offer upgradability, it
can be filled up much faster than the Mid-
Sized tower.
Recommendations:
Great PC for end-users and small
