iBUYPOWER: The Best Gaming PC Cases

When assembling a gaming PC, the case is as essential as CPU, GPU, motherboard, and other components. It's the structural foundation that holds everything together, making it a crucial part of your build.

At iBUYPOWER, we offer a diverse range of computer cases catering to various sizes and aesthetics. Whether you prefer a sleek case that enhances airflow for optimal performance or a design that compliments your gaming setup, our selection of gaming PC cases and accessories has something for everyone.

Why Computer Cases are Important for Your PC Build

PC cases are crucial for any gaming build. They protect all the internal components from dust and prevent short circuits. Gaming PC cases also help organize the parts of your computer and are handy for cable management to avoid airflow obstruction that could lead to overheating.

Computer cases also add an aesthetic touch to your build, allowing you to express your style through RGB lighting, color schemes, and side panels. The design of gaming PC cases specifically enhances airflow, improving your components' performance and longevity.

Choosing the Right Gaming PC Cases

Picking the perfect PC case is crucial to your build for many reasons, so when choosing gaming PC cases, there are some things you need to consider.

Some of these factors include:

  1. Size: The case must fit your motherboard and all other components. Larger PC cases increase airflow and cooling, which is necessary for modern, high-performance GPUs.
  2. Drive Bays: This factor is extremely important for using multiple hard drives or SSDs.
  3. Front Panel: Evaluate the number and type of connectors available on the front panel, such as USB ports, audio jacks, and the material.
  4. Lighting: If you want RGB lighting, see how the lighting system is organized and connected.
  5. Price: Determine your budget, considering that higher-priced computer cases may offer better build quality, features, and cooling options.

PC cases should be functional and fit within your gaming setup’s aesthetic. Whether you want a flashy setup or a sleek, minimal design, the case should reflect your style.

Keeping PC Cases Cool

Adequate cooling helps maintain performance and extend the lifespan of a gaming PC. Excessive heat can cause thermal throttling during intense gaming, reducing performance or permanently damaging components.

There are two main types of cooling to install in gaming PC cases:

  1. Liquid Cooling: Highly effective due to the coolant's ability to transfer heat efficiently using water blocks, a pump, a radiator, and pipes. Liquid cooling comes in two forms: All-in-One (AIO) coolers or custom loops, which you can adjust for performance and aesthetics.
  2. Air Cooling: Simpler and more cost-effective by using fans and heatsinks to dissipate heat. Air cooling transfers heat from the CPU through thermal paste to a baseplate then moves the heat through heat pipes to a heatsink, where fans push the heat away.

No matter which cooling method you choose, make sure that it will be able to fit in the case and accommodate all your components.

Cable Management

Effective cable management in PC cases is not just a matter of tidiness, but a crucial element in optimizing airflow and maintaining a clean, efficient system. Many of our computer cases feature built-in cable channels, routing holes, rubber grommets, PSU shrouds, and tie-down points, ensuring that your cables are neatly organized and out of sight.

When managing cables in gaming PC cases, make sure to:

  1. Install components on the motherboard first, then route cables using the shortest path.
  2. Avoid cluttering the motherboard with excess cables leading to the power supply.
  3. Group cables together along the same route to the power supply.

Effective cable management simplifies maintenance by making it easier to identify and resolve issues.

Customizing iBUYPOWER Computer Cases

Whether you are building a gaming PC using our PC builder or getting one of our pre-built computers, having a suitable case keeps your PC functioning properly and can add a stylish touch to any gaming setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider when buying PC cases?

When searching for computer cases, consider the form factor (motherboard size), features, and aesthetics of your build and gaming setup. Check that all components are compatible and that your case can support the tasks you want to perform.

Does it matter what PC case I get?

PC cases are more than just a protective shell. They play a significant role in providing airflow, reducing noise output, and determining the size and specs of the components that can fit in your PC.
