Computer Systems Design
Computer Systems Design concerned with the hardware design of the computer concerned with the determination of what hardware should be used and how the parts should be connected.
Types of Computer Cases
Full tower Full-tower cases are generally big with a height that is about or more than 30 inches (more than 76 cm). The number of internal drive bays inside these cases can be between 6 and 10.
Take note: Bay refers to a space or slot in a computing device where you can insert a specific type of hardware component or peripheral. It is often used to expand or enhance the device's functionality. Bays are commonly found in computers, servers, and networking equipment
Mid tower Another case that might be a step down, would be classified as a mid-tower case. Mid-tower cases are the most widely used computer cases. Mid Tower cases are about 18 to 24 (45 to 60 cm) inches high and they usually contain 2 to 4 internal drive bays and a similar number of external bays (for CD/DVD readers and similar).
Mini tower Mini-tower usually have up to 2 or sometimes 3 internal drive bays. Mini-cases normally stand at a height of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm). Expandability is a problem with these cases.
Slim line case Slim line cases are simply tower cases turned on their sideways. They can hold a monitor on top of the case.
Small Form Factor (SFF) Case Small form factor or SFF cases are custom cases that are designed to minimize the spatial volume of a desktop computer. SFFs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including shoe boxes, cubes, and book-sized PCs.
Group activity Convene with your permanent group. Select a discussant from the group who will help his or her groupmates understand more of the discussion of the topic. The rest of the group members will be called to participate in the recitation, except for the discussant. Grades for every group will be based on the number of questions answered by the participants.
Generalization: What did we learn from the lesson today? What are the different types of system cases? Can you mention the characteristics that make each system case unique?

Identify what is being described below: 6. A computer case designed to minimize the spatial volume of a desktop computer. 7. It usually have up to 2 or sometimes 3 internal drive bays. It normally stand at a height of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm). 8. This computer case is much thinner than most computer cases. Often include integrated components to save up space and have limited upgrade capabilities. 9. This computer case is generally big with a height that is about or more than 30 inches (more than 76 cm). 10 . This refers to a space or slot in a computing device where you can insert a specific type of hardware component or peripheral.
