wHaT iS cOmPuTeR ? A computer tower, also known as a computer case, is the enclosure that holds many components of a personal or office desktop computer. A computer tower can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can also be made from a wide range of materials including steel, plastic, aluminum and more. The sizes of a computer tower range from small mini-towers to medium sized mid-towers and all the way up to full-size towers, depending on what the computer is being used for and how powerful it is. There are several computer components that can be commonly found in the computer tower of a home or office computer. Typical components include the motherboard, hard drive, power supply, optical drives and floppy drives as well as other parts. The locations of these components within the computer tower is usually dependent upon the size or shape of the tower itself, but they are also found typically in the same places on the tower for the sake of convenience. For example, the CD, DVD or floppy drives can usually be found in the front of the computer tower for easy access, while the power supply is usually located in the back to keep the cords out of the way. A computer tower can also contain many built-in features that work with the components inside. The most obvious of these is that most towers need to have a power button embedded in the front to turn the computer on and off, but there can also be buttons and knobs used to control fans and other components inside the tower. A computer tower can also contain USB, firewire and other types of ports that connect to the motherboard as well as a variety of lights and sensors to tell the computer user information such as internal temperature and processor speeds. Typically, a computer tower is designed specifically around the type, or form factor, of motherboard that it is housing. The main types of form factors are called ATX and microATX, the latter of which is much more compact. In some models of home computers known as all-in-one computers, the tower and components of the computer are built in with the monitor of the computer, making them even more compact than a typical desktop computer. The shape of the typical computer tower is rectangular, and more generic versions will usually come in the color beige. This, however, has become less common with the home computer as many more options are available to buy a computer tower with a more unique look, and someone can now buy a computer tower in many different colors, shapes and sizes. Of course, the larger a tower is, the more components a user will be able to fit inside. In a practice known as case modding, some people even customize their computer tower so that it is completely unique. A tower that has been modified in this fashion can have any number of lights, fans, artwork, see-through walls, internal cooling systems, or other unique attributes that are limited only by the owner’s imagination.
