PCGehäuse

PCGehäuse, also known as a computer case or chassis, is the outer shell that houses all the internal components of a personal computer. Its primary function is to protect these delicate parts from physical damage, dust, and electromagnetic interference. Beyond protection, a PCGehäuse plays a crucial role in thermal management, facilitating airflow to keep components cool and prevent overheating.

There are various types and sizes of PCGehäuse, designed to accommodate different motherboard form factors such as ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX. Common form factors include full-tower, mid-tower, and small form factor (SFF) cases. Tower cases are the most prevalent, offering ample space for expansion and cooling solutions. SFF cases, on the other hand, are designed for minimal footprint and portability.

Material choices for PCGehäuse typically include steel, aluminum, and plastic, each offering different advantages in terms of durability, weight, and cost. Aesthetics also play a significant role, with manufacturers offering a wide range of designs, from minimalist to elaborate, often featuring tempered glass side panels for showcasing internal components. The interior layout of a PCGehäuse is engineered for efficient cable management and component installation, ensuring a clean and functional build. Many cases also include features like drive bays for storage devices, expansion slots for graphics cards and other peripherals, and front-panel ports for easy access to USB and audio connections.
