Glass is an indispensable material for modern interior design
Desktop case hardening glass is also popular, setting up text-listening settings for what would be attractive
Glass is an indispensable material for modern interior design. Glass's original transparency is excellent for creating a sense of space, and is widely used as it is relatively free to produce colors or shapes. Smaller is also used for indoor props and furniture, and large is also used for curtain wall construction, which decorates the entire outer wall of a large building. The flaw is that it is weak in impact instead of high hardness, but it is making up for its shortcomings with safety glass that splits into small pieces or anti-dispersion glass that prevents fragmentation through film construction.

As tempered glass is widely used in everyday life, the desktop, which has emerged as an interior prop, has also changed. Three to four years ago, desktop cases had many products made of iron plates and injection plastics. There was no need to clear the line because the inside was invisible, and it was enough if the parts were installed as soon as they could be reached. In addition, there were many products with poor intake and exhaust structures because heat release was not the main consideration. The fact that the desktop itself was not a notable interior accessory also contributed.
But as the gaming market grew, creating gaming desktops or gaming rooms became fashionable.
In addition, the interior value of desktops has expanded as computer work has become more common. Consumers have begun to look for more beautiful, beautiful products.
It is the tempered glass case that meets this condition.
Recently, products priced at 30dollar are also equipped with tempered glass as standard, and let's take a look at the difference compared to cases before tempered glass.
■ tempered glass case, in what ways does it benefit?
Starting from two to three years ago, components inside desktops have also been emphasizing external factors.<IT Dong Ah>
The biggest difference between the tempered glass case and the old steel case is its internal structure.
The tempered glass case often hides the cable on the back of the main board or on the power supply cover. Basically, it's to keep miscellaneous cables invisible, but functional benefits are also considered.
When assembled in a central and central heating system, as in past products, air absorbed from the front forms a stream from the inside, raising the internal temperature.
On the other hand, the tempered glass case has many structures that are faithful to the rear exhaust after full intake, and it also has an advantage in relieving heat by placing lines that interfere with air flow elsewhere.
The lower the temperature inside the case, the lower the load on the component, and in the long term, the longer the life span and durability are affected.

The structure of fitting components is also changing into an optimal form. The common characteristics of most products can be summarized as all-round cooling fan structure for smooth absorber, reinforcement glass recruitment, line arrangement using power supply space, and appearance with LED. All-round cooling fan structure and power supply cover are features for cooling desktop parts, while reinforced glass and LED exterior are design features.
If it's not a rectangular case, but a unique type of case, equipped with a water cooler, and not a mini PC, the features themselves are mostly similar.
Three cooling fans at the front and one cooling fan at the back have been deployed, and there are many pores for the absorber. <IT Dong Ah>
The reason why most tempered glass cases have independent spaces for the placement of cooling fans and lower power supply is that this structure is advantageous for heat dissipation.
Gaming desktops and high-performance PCs have a lot of heat generated from semiconductors, and if these parts are mounted on sealed-level desktop cases, they are less stable.
Therefore, the cooling fan is placed on the steel plate to relieve the heat of the latest desktop components, and the cooling fan is ideally located for air intake and exhaust.

LEDs and tempered glass are interior effects that emphasize aesthetic features. LEDs are placed around cooling fan borders or product frames, and prices go up depending on the number of LEDs, the number and effect of colors supported by LED lights, and whether they are compatible with the main board. Hardened glass is generally used with more than 5mm of glass, and depending on the product, there are various colors, ranging from transparent to black. In the event of a strong shock, it breaks into countless pieces in the form of cubes, which can be handled less sharply and safely than ordinary glass.
It's good for assembling new desktops as well as moving older desktops.

Most desktop cases currently sold are tempered glass cases. As in the past, iron plate products are often in stock, and if you need a fully metal product, look for aluminum cases. Since the tempered glass case starts at 30dollar and is being released in various sizes, including Mini Tower, Middle Tower, and Big Tower, you can choose a tempered glass case that fits your budget and the size of the parts.
The tempered glass case is good even if there is no shortage of desktop computer performance currently in use and if you want to use it with a new feeling.
Compared to older products, only the shape or placement of the product has changed, and the parts used in computer composition remain the same.
Although compatibility varies depending on the size of the computer parts used and the size of the parts supported by the case, ordinary home desktops are compatible without difficulty when purchasing middle tower-standard desktop cases.
