For customised PC, is it better to use small, medium or large PC case?

[poooooo]

Mainly for typing report and watch movie

Don't even need a customised PC, just get any mini PC or nuc.

If die die want a customised pc, this channel has a lot of itx case review.

This PC casing look nice

Must AIO cooler?

 

[Sadisticnoob]

Matx and above overal build will be cheaper

itx cases be prepared to pay more cause the motherboard costs a lot more

Can use low profile heat sink if your not using power hungry CPU.

CPU cooler max height
48 mm (Configured for Max GPU) / 77 mm (Configured for Max CPU-Cooler the )

Wat, just for tying report & watch movie - just any recent Intel NUC will do

Or a wyse 5070 J5005 w 8GB ram will do

 

[ballastic90]

Full case best

Get the biggest case you can, add as much fans as you can, even if you are AIO-ing ur set up. Airflow is something i cannot compromise on. I massively dislike my system's internal being a semi furnace. Temp watching is sth i will never give up on either.

Oh. What about DELL XPS? good or not?

Medium size will do... Something like micro atx is just nice... But then some people still find it big and ugly so went for mini itx.

Casing size consideration is more for airflow and peripherals expansion. If u play 3d intensive games and expecting temperature to soar high, then should use micro atx or even more kiasu use standard atx. Some people go for watercooling using micro atx which is good enough.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Totally agreed. I don't game. I still use mATX. Because sometimes the mobo + cpu outlast the other peripherals. The extra pci-e slot can be used for add on like WiFi cards (from AC to AX), usb-2 to usb-3 ports, SATA6 to mSata or M.2 pci-e....

I have old PC that do not have Sata3/6 ports that I use a pci-e card to use sata SSD and mSata SSD.

One of my 2nd hand motherboard happened to have a spoiled USB2 ports and I just plug in my pci-e USB3 card, viola, problem solved.

Dell XPS, as a laptop is good if you need the mobility. XPS is dell premium laptop range

However compared Intel NUC or Wyse 5070:
Laptop uses battery, battery lifespan will only be good for max 2-3yrs. Laptop screen lifespan maybe shorter than Monitor.
XPS, Intel NUC, Wyse 5070 using compatible memory can max out to 32gb, if you do huge reports or having business analytics components

XPS as a Dell premium will cost more than Wyse 5070 & even Intel NUC. Wyse 5070 design fr industrial/table-top purpose, takes a cost conscious/space approach solution. Wyse 5070 support 3-4 monitor displays, which maybe useful if you do business report & excel having multi display needs

Generally, the more powerful you want your PC to be, the bigger the case. So it depends on what kind of PC you want. Entry level, Mid range, high end or performance enthusiast grade PC.

tbh the case you are not looking at it mostly

Last time 1st gen i7 950 even Lian Li ATX case with good airflow, 2 intake + 1 rear exhaust + 1 top blowhole, cooler Megahalems, all 5 fans 1st-gen Gentle Typhoon … also furnace.
