Dieting
Computer cases are very rarely equipped with high-quality power supplies, but pleasant exceptions still occur from time to time, for example, the Aerocool PGS QS-182 with the Aerocool VX-550 power supply. The case is made in the medium-sized MiniTower format (for MicroATX motherboards), and it is reduced not only in height, but also in length and width.
Smaller diameter - more noise
And if the reduction in length occurred without loss of functionality (three 3.5 or 2.5 inch drives fit), then weight loss limited the height of the processor cooler to 14.5 cm. replace it).
Through blowing
In addition, additional 12 cm propellers can be installed on the front, side and bottom panels (at least one for blowing must be purchased). Side placement seems to be the most effective, in which the air flow will be directed to the graphics card, due to which its temperature can be reduced by 5-10 degrees.
Profitable investment
Due to its moderate cost, Aerocool PGS QS-182 can be called a solid universal case for building a home multimedia or gaming PC. The bundled PSU Aerocool VX-550 is reliable, energy-efficient (high efficiency of 80%) and has a 6-pin connector for a GeForce GTX 1060 and Radeon RX 480 graphics card. You can blame the case only for very thin sheet metal.
