不同机箱的主要用处
Main uses of different chassis
电脑机箱分类主要有全塔式机箱、中塔式机箱、mini（小塔机箱）。
The computer cases are classified into full tower case, medium tower case and mini (small tower case).
全塔机箱空间较大，可以轻松装下 E-ATX 的主板，容纳 GTX 1080Ti PGF 级别的大型显卡完全没有压力，安装水冷和理线也是十分简单，具有非常大的拓展性，空间大，散热性能通常较强，不过料足了价格自然也不低。
The space of the whole tower chassis is large, and the E-ATX motherboard can be easily installed. The GTX 1080ti PGF level large graphics card has no pressure at all. The installation of water cooling and cable management is also very simple. It has great expansibility, large space, and strong heat dissipation performance. However, the price is not low when the materials are sufficient.
一般是 DIY 爱好者以及追求主机性能的硬件发烧友较为偏爱，空间大还一个好处就是可以随意的改建整个硬件的架构，可以很轻松地增加一些硬件，使用体验非常舒服。
Generally, DIY enthusiasts and hardware enthusiasts who pursue host performance prefer it. Another advantage of large space is that they can rebuild the whole hardware architecture at will. They can easily add some hardware, and the user experience is very comfortable.
中塔式机箱大小仅次于全塔式机箱，也是日常生活中最常见的一种机箱类型。虽然放不下 E-ATX 这种奇葩主板，但空间还是很大，支持 ATX 主板类型。显卡方面也没有太大压力，基本都可以容纳，
The size of medium tower chassis is second only to that of full tower chassis, and it is also the most common type of chassis in daily life. Although the E-ATX motherboard can not be placed, but the space is still large, support ATX motherboard type. There’s not much pressure on the graphics card. It can basically accommodate all of them,
虽然拓展性和散热性无法跟全塔式机箱相比，但也相当不错，而且价格算是最便宜的一种类型，更适合广大普通玩家。
Although the expansibility and heat dissipation can not be compared with the full tower chassis, it is also quite good, and the price is the cheapest type, which is more suitable for ordinary players.
中塔式机箱是最受广罗大众喜爱的机箱类型，非常普及，从家里到网吧再到办公室。而且中塔式机箱也可以装备水冷，很多厂家也在这上面花费了各种各样的心思来获得消费者的青睐，比如说水冷、侧透、RGB 灯效等等。
Tower chassis is the most popular type of chassis, very popular, from home to Internet cafes to the office. In addition, the middle tower chassis can also be equipped with water cooling, and many manufacturers also spend a variety of thoughts on it to win the favor of consumers, such as water cooling, side penetration, RGB lamp effect and so on.
mini 机箱也叫小塔式机箱，体积较小，通常支持 M-ATX 主板，放家里或办公室都不占空间。但是因为 mini 机箱体积小，对显卡等硬件尺寸的要求较高，一般只能选择体积偏小的显卡，比如 GTX 1060 X-Gaming OC 及更小的显卡，这就导致选择 mini 机箱的玩家对电脑性能的要求大部分也不是很高。
Mini chassis, also known as small tower chassis, is small in size. It usually supports m-atx motherboard and does not occupy space at home or office. However, due to the small size of mini chassis and the high requirement for the size of hardware such as graphics card, generally only small graphics card can be selected, such as GTX 1060 x-gaming OC and smaller graphics card. As a result, most of the players who choose Mini chassis do not have high requirements for computer performance.
体积小带来另外一个问题就是散热性能不强，现在很多厂商也在通过各种设计解决这个问题，比如加风扇、加散热面，而且由于机箱大小，mini 机箱的拓展性也基本上没有啥了，所以选择 mini 机箱不能单考虑空间和小巧可爱等方面，其他因素也要一并考虑在内。
Another problem brought by small size is that the heat dissipation performance is not strong. Now many manufacturers are also solving this problem through various designs, such as adding fans and cooling surfaces. Moreover, due to the size of the chassis, the expansibility of mini chassis is basically nothing. Therefore, the choice of mini chassis can not only consider the space and small and lovely, but also other factors.
机箱选购技巧
Skills of case selection
良好的散热性是一款优秀服务器机箱的必备条件。散热性能主要表现在三个方面，一是风扇的数量和位置，二是散热通道的合理性，三是机箱材料的选材。
Good heat dissipation is a prerequisite for an excellent server chassis. The heat dissipation performance is mainly reflected in three aspects, one is the number and location of fans, the other is the rationality of heat dissipation channels, and the third is the material selection of chassis.
一般来说，品牌服务器机箱比如超微都可以很好地做到这一点，采用大口径的风扇直接针对 CPU、内存及磁盘进行散热，形成从前方吸风到后方排风的良好散热通道，形成良好的热循环系统。而采用导热能力较强的优质铝合金或者钢材料制作的机箱外壳，也可以有效地改善散热环境。
Generally speaking, brand server chassis, such as ultramicro, can do this well. Large diameter fans are used to heat CPU, memory and disk directly, forming a good cooling channel from the front to the rear, forming a good thermal cycle system. The case shell made of high-quality aluminum alloy or steel with strong thermal conductivity can also effectively improve the heat dissipation environment.
冗余性方面的设计也非常值得关注。一是散热系统的冗余性，此类服务器机箱一般必须配备专门的冗余风扇，当个别风扇因为故障停转的时候，冗余风扇会立刻接替工作。
The design of redundancy is also worthy of attention. One is the redundancy of the cooling system. This kind of server chassis must be equipped with special redundant fans. When individual fans stop running due to faults, the redundant fans will take over the work immediately.
二是电源的冗余性，当主电源因为故障失效或者电压不稳时，冗余电源可以接替工作继续为系统供电。三是存储介质的冗余性，要求机箱有较多的热插拔硬盘位，可以方便地对服务器进行热维护。
The second is the redundancy of power supply. When the main power supply fails or the voltage is unstable, the redundant power supply can take over the work and continue to supply power to the system. The third is the redundancy of storage media, which requires the chassis to have more hot swap hard disk bits, so that the server can be easily maintained.
设计精良的服务器机箱会提供方便的 LED 显示灯以供维护者及时了解机器情况，前置 USB 口之类的小设计也会极大的方便使用者。同时，更有机箱提供了前置冗余电源的设计，使得电源维护也更为便利。
The well-designed server chassis will provide convenient LED display light for maintenance personnel to know the machine situation in time, and small designs such as front USB port will also greatly facilitate users. At the same time, the chassis provides the design of pre redundant power supply, which makes the maintenance of power supply more convenient.
用料永远是衡量大厂与小厂产品的最直观的表现方式。以超微机箱为例，同样是 4U 或者塔式机箱，超微的产品从重量上就可以达到杂牌产品的甚至三四倍。在机柜中间线缆密布设备繁多的情况下，机箱的用料直接牵涉到主机屏蔽其他设备电磁干扰的能力。
Material is always the most intuitive way to measure the products of large and small factories. Take the ultramicro chassis as an example, which is also a 4U or tower chassis. The weight of ultramicro products can reach three or four times that of miscellaneous products. In the case of dense cables and various equipment in the middle of the cabinet, the material used in the cabinet is directly related to the host’s ability to shield other equipment from electromagnetic interference.
因为服务器机箱的好坏直接牵涉到系统的稳定性，因此一些知名服务器主板大厂也会生产专业的服务器机箱，以保证最终服务器产品的稳定性。
Because the quality of the server chassis is directly related to the stability of the system, some well-known server motherboard manufacturers will also produce professional server chassis to ensure the stability of the final server products.
