Swing door cases

Swing door

— rather rare opening mechanism, typical for cases in various variations of the Tower form factor. The name quite accurately conveys the way this mechanism works: the side panel of the case is not removed, but opens sideways like a hinged door. The main advantage of this option is that a convenient lock is often used to fix the door in the closed position, which can be opened without special tools — for example, by pressing a button. This greatly simplifies access to the contents of the case, especially when you need to fine-tune or quickly replace individual PC components. On the other hand, the open door cannot be set aside like a removable panel, and in some situations it can be inconvenient, hanging on the case. Yes, and such a design is somewhat more expensive than the same removable elements. Therefore, doors are rarely found nowadays — mainly in separate game models of cases.
