Size of a computer case?

[Parollex]

Hello,

I was just wondering, does the size of the case matter and which one is reasonably best
for gaming?

The size of the case can make a difference as to what type of motherboard it can hold, how many drives can fit in it and possibly how big a video card or aftermarket CPU cooler can fit. It depends on what kind of hardware you want but gaming cases tend to be bigger than standard cases.

There is no "best case for gaming".
It all depends on the type of/amount of components you need to fit inside, and the amount of space you have around your desk.

Mid Towers are possibly the most popular, they will fit all the standard sized components and 1 or 2 video cards. They are not that big, most of the computers you've seen in a workplace/home are mid towers.

Full Towers are for more dedicated users, they are much roomier than mid towers, and will fit EATX motherboards, and 3 or 4 video cards, water cooling gear, etc. They are also quite big and end up being pretty heavy.

You're usually best off with a mid tower.
