The material of the computer case will affect the computer's heat dissipation, noise and the overall texture and other aspects. The following are some common computer chassis materials and their advantages and disadvantages:
Steel plate material: Steel plate is a common main chassis material, has a low price, high hardness, strong and durable characteristics. In addition, steel plate also has good shielding performance, can effectively reduce the interference generated by electromagnetic radiation. However, the thermal performance of the steel plate main chassis is relatively poor, and the weight is also relatively large, making it inconvenient to carry.
Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy host chassis compared to the steel plate host chassis, better heat dissipation performance, lighter weight, more beautiful appearance. Aluminum alloy main chassis also has better corrosion resistance, not easy to rust and deformation. However, the price of aluminum alloy main chassis is relatively high, not very suitable for users with limited budget.
ABS plastic: ABS plastic chassis is relatively inexpensive and lightweight, making it easy to carry. However, the structure of the ABS plastic main chassis is relatively weak, with poorer protection, less impact resistance than steel plate and aluminum alloy main chassis, as well as less heat dissipation than aluminum alloy main chassis.
In summary, different materials of the main chassis have their own advantages and disadvantages, the choice should be based on their own needs and budget to consider. If you need better thermal performance and protection, you can choose aluminum alloy or steel plate main chassis; if the budget is limited, you can choose ABS plastic main chassis.
