Computer Cases question?

Is their really that big of a difference in the full tower and the mid tower and if so what should i go for a mid tower or a full tower. I plan to make my first computer and i am looking to making a great gaming machine at least something to run 7 64 bit and any game with about full spec. will it matter what case I go for or what.Computer Cases question?
The difference is just the size and space that a full tower has over a mid tower. For most builds, a mid tower will be just fine. You can find plenty of mid tower cases that have plenty of room inside for your parts. Just stick with good brand with cases; cooler master, thermaltake, antec, lian-li are all good brands. Oh, and never ever use the power supply that comes with a case. Always buy a separate power supply!Computer Cases question?
Full Towers give you more bragging rights when you haul them to a LAN party, especially if they're packed full of neon lights. There's no real difference in performance.





Buy a case that will:


1) Fit your motherboard


2) Have enough HDD and CD slots


3) Has enough fans if you're into extreme overclocking


4) Place external USB connections where you can actually use them (USB slots on the bottom of the case are awkward if your case sits on the floor most of the time).





You can actually get a screaming core i7 with 12 GB RAM and a Radeon 5970 graphics card on a micro-ATX motherboard that will fit in the smallest of towers. Assuming you can afford the 5970 and can find it in stock.


5) Then worry about the ';coolness'; factor
Just get a case that cools well and looks good to you. And make sure it fits your parts. The difference between full and mid-tower cases varies greatly, there are cases considered mid-tower that would probably fit inside my mid-tower (CM Storm Sniper Black)
