Computer Cases

Ever wondered which computer case or computer cabinet was best for you and if there was an order to it? If so, then the answer to the second one is yes (We’ll get to the first one after we have done some groundwork on the second). The computer cases are standardized according to the Electronics Industries Association (EIA).

You can broadly classify the various types of computer cabinets available (leaving apart a few stone – age boxes).

So what is the basis of classification?

Based on Position – Desktops and Towers.
The ones kept horizontally on the desk are known as desktops and the ones which are kept horizontally, towers.

When the computers are kept horizontally, they are classified as desktops. Cabinets have drive bays (Slots into which you fit in your hard-disks, CD ROM drives, etc.). Depending on the number of drive bays, we classify the computer cabinets as:

Mini: Contains about 3 drive bays or slots.
Mid: 4 Drive Bays
Full: 7 Drive Bays



Cabinets should be selected based on the following different parameters:

The most important thing to take care of, while selecting a computer case is to check the compatibility of the computer mother-board with the case. Various types of motherboards - AT – Advanced Technology, ATX – Advanced Technology Extended, etc.

1. Number of Slots/Drive Bays: Go for a full tower (7 drive bay) computer case if you are sure that you will be using multiple disks and drives.

However, latest computers do not require such a large number of slots in their
cases as four slots is the general requirement.


2. Cooling capacity: The computer is always better off when it is cool, like most of us. So if you have a cabinet which has the provision of an extra fan (fan ports) in it, its better.

Of course water cooling is a more powerful option with a few reliable vendors on the market, but if you are not a game-crazy soul whose heart beats for the thrill of the joystick, then it doesn’t make much sense for you.

However if you can spare the money, water cooling does give a kick to your computer – can run up to three times faster with overclocking (increasing the number of cycles – operations per second of your computer).

3. Number of USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports: Most of your interfacing – cameras, cell phones, external drives, etc. require USB ports. Make sure that your computer case has enough slots for that.

4. Number of slots for PCI (Peripheral computer interface) cards: Ethernet cards, sound cards, video graphics adapter cards, etc are fitted onto PCI sots available in your computer’s motherboard.

Thus, the computer case must have the number of slots provided for these cards, otherwise, we might not be able to use the full capacity of the mother board. A case with 6 slots will do the trick.

Promotional Bags and Conference Folders

Having arrived tired and weary after a 4 hour drive including the M25 and M4, never a good combination on a Monday morning, I was delighted to see that my attendance at our annual Sales and Marketing Conference had been noted and I was given my delegate pack, including a very good looking Promotional Bag, Conference Folder, quality promotional pen, and this time a small promotional gift as well.

After such a hideous drive, following registering for the conference I had time to check in to my room, which was amazingly available, the hotel had obviously not been busy the night before; I really had no expectation of being able to check in to my room, I always anticipate if I arrive in the morning that my room will not be available until much later that afternoon, therefore on this occasion I was both surprised and delighted.

After freshening up it was back down to the conference hall for tea and coffee before the start of the conference. At this year’s conference in addition to the main plenary sessions there was a small exhibition running alongside with many of the companies suppliers taking exhibition stands, all looking very professional with their banner stands strategically placed.

The Conference Folder included my conference schedule for the next 2.5 days. Over the years I have received many types of bags and folders and particularly liked this year's versions. I find them incredibly useful to keep notes and all the hand-outs we are given. This year’s folder had been very well put together, everything I needed including the conference schedule, list of attendees at the Conference, list of all the speakers for each session and which syndicate group I would be in for the duration of the conference.

I find these conferences incredibly useful particularly to meet colleagues from across Europe who do the same job. There is nothing like sharing your experiences, swapping ideas and generally putting the world to rights in your given field with your peer group. It is something I look forward to every year, of course I talk to my colleagues via email and the telephone constantly but there is nothing like actually sitting down face to face and talking through ideas and problems that we both share.

During the next 2.5 days my Conference Folder is in constant use as I delve in and out of it looking at the schedule, finding what time the next syndicate session starts, finding out who the guest speaker is in the plenary session and reading his biography, as usual I have lost my promotional pen, however the lovely team on the help desk have a huge supply which are given out generously to all who ask throughout the conference. What would we do without the promotional pen!
