Structure and shape
General chassis from the shape is divided into: vertical and horizontal two kinds.
Chassis from the structure is divided into: AT, ATX, Micro ATX, NLX and other types of
Motherboard: the chassis is specially made for the motherboard. Motherboards are also divided into AT, ATX, Micro ATX, NLX and other types.
Normal installation into this chassis inside, the chassis is a mid-tower chassis, support for atx large motherboards, support for 380 mm ultra-long solo, three fan solo is enough to install, support for 165 mm radiator, you can install Xuan Ice 400 or Great Frost Tower such radiators.
Buy what board should be on what chassis, otherwise it is not installed. The model construction standards are all stipulated.
If the ATX chassis, according to the needs and computer applications to choose. General tower chassis can be, understand the size of the chassis, the same model try to choose a larger, conducive to wiring and cooling, conducive to the folding of the installation, the brand quality must be considered.
Extended information
Chassis generally includes the shell, bracket, panel of various switches, lights, etc..
Chassis as a part of the computer accessories, it plays a major role in placing and fixing the computer accessories, play a supporting and protective role. In addition, the computer chassis has an important role in shielding electromagnetic radiation.
Although it is not a very important configuration in DIY, using a poor quality chassis can easily short-circuit the motherboard and chassis, making the computer system become very unstable.
There are many types of chassis. The more common ones on the market today are AT, ATX, Micro ATX, and the newest BTX - the full name of the AT chassis should be BaBy AT, which was mainly used in earlier machines that could only support the installation of AT motherboards.ATX chassis are by far the most common, and support the vast majority of types of motherboards nowadays.Micro ATX chassis are built on top of AT chassis, in order to further save space on the desktop, and are therefore smaller than ATX chassis. Each type of chassis can only be installed with the type of motherboard it supports, and generally cannot be mixed, and power supplies also differ.
Computer chassis motherboard, also known as the motherboard (mainboard), system board (systemboard) or motherboard (motherboard); it is divided into two kinds of commercial motherboards and industrial motherboards. It is installed in the chassis, is the most basic microcomputer is also one of the most important components. The motherboard is generally a rectangular circuit board, installed above the composition of the computer's main circuit system, generally BIOS chip, I / O control chip, key and panel control switch interface, indicator plugs, expansion slots, motherboards and plug-in cards DC power supply connectors and other components.
The motherboard has an open structure. Most of the motherboard has 6-15 expansion slots for PC peripherals to plug in the control card (adapter). By replacing these plug-in cards, the corresponding subsystem of the microcomputer can be upgraded locally, so that manufacturers and users have greater flexibility in configuring models. In short, the motherboard in the entire microcomputer system plays a pivotal role. It can be said that the type and grade of the motherboard determines the type and grade of the entire microcomputer system. The performance of the motherboard affects the performance of the entire microcomputer system.
