CASES
Cases:
In an SFFPC system, cases are the most important part. Whereas traditional computers utilize uninspiring cases with inefficient designs, SFFPC cases force designers to create clever, space efficient designs which can look aesthetically pleasing anywhere.
Cases can be dividen into two main layouts:
Sandwich layout:
In a sandwich layout, the case is divided into two main compartments, folded like a sandwich. On one side is a space for the GPU, and on the other side the motherboard is placed with the PSU.
Classic Layout:
In a sandwich layout, the case is structured in a way closest to a traditional design, but without any extra space. The motherboard, GPU and other components stay in the same place, the psu moves next to the motherboard, and the cooling system is mounted to fit in the empty space.
sff.pc
Sffpcs differ from the systems taught last semester in a couple different ways. Aside from the aforementioned traits regarding space and mobility, they run different in price and components. Click the buttons below to learn more.
Components
Sffpcs are organized in a similar way towards last semester's systems, retaining the same components, such as the cpu, motherboard, random access memory, and storage, but at a signifigantly different scale, and with their own conditions and compatibility.
Cooling
In last semester's pc build, your cpu cooler was probably treated as an afterthought, however, in an sffpc, its signifigantly more important to pay attention to the way heat is managed in order to effectively cool the components of the system.
Cases
Naturally, the physical design of the computer case must be changed in order to address the great change in scale. Traditional cases are bashfully wasteful in their space management, to decrease the size, we must thoughtfully plan out our layout and component structures.
