Computer Enclosures
Computer enclosures are housings designed specifically to protect inner electronic computer components from damage due to dust and moisture. Computer enclosures can be made of numerous materials, including metal and plastic. They are used both in homes and in offices and can integrate all computer components into one unit. Some enclosures are specially designed with rugged exteriors to withstand harsh industrial environments.
Computer enclosures come in many sizes and designs. Computer towers are enclosures specifically designed to house all of the computer's hardware in one unit. There are also desktop, hanging, and wall-mounted units. Some designs offer extra protection for components by being resistant to radio interference, impact, flame, and/or explosion.
In the past, computer enclosures were generally beige and rectangular. In the past few years, however, more streamlined styles have evolved to meet design standards. These enclosures have also become smaller to accommodate for spatial needs. Laptop enclosures, for instance, are designed to house all of a system's hardware in a compact design.
