Full Tower Computer Cases

What's a Full-Tower Computer Case?

As the largest, most spacious form-factor of computer case by quite a margin, full-tower extended-ATX computer cases provide you with an ample amount of room to build in. While mid-tower cases support up to 12" x 9.6" ATX motherboards, full-tower cases also support wider 12" x 13" E-ATX motherboards.

Exact sizes vary from model to model, of course, but broadly speaking full-tower computer cases come in at around 24-inches tall and deep. For context, that's considerably larger than your average, 18-inch tall and deep mid-tower case. To this end, it's worth checking if a full-tower case will even fit on top of (or more likely underneath) your desk. It's hard to judge the size of a full-tower by product images alone, and many people end up buying one without realising just how much space it'll consume.

Why Should I Buy a Full-Tower Computer Case?

With a full-tower extended-ATX computer case, you'll never have to worry about whether a component will fit in your system again. 360mm radiators, triple-slot, triple-fan graphics cards, stacks on stacks of 3.5" hard drives and 2.5" solid-state drives - full-tower computer cases can support all this hardware, and then some.

Consequently, we'd say full-tower cases are really only for those who're looking to build an ultra-high-end-system, one that's filled to the brim with water-cooling gear and hefty, top-of-the-line components. While there's certainly mid-tower computer cases out there which can accommodate this kind of hardware, they won't be the most comfortable or enjoyable to build in exactly. In comparison, it'll be a breeze to manoeuvrer hardware and cables in-and-around a roomy full-tower computer case. You won't have to, for example, awkwardly pinch your hand to plug in the motherboard's CPU power cable, as you would in a smaller form-factor case.

On the flip side, compact, mid-range hardware will look a bit out of place in the enormous interior of a full-tower case. Unless you're looking to stock up on as many terabytes' worth of hard drive storage as possible, a full-tower computer case would simply be overkill for a low to mid-range build; a mid-tower case is more than adequate for most people's needs.

Expandability

Full-tower cases largely appeal to those who like to run a lot of local, internal storage. Nowadays, most mid-tower cases feature a couple of 2.5" and 3.5" drive bays at most, with the expectation being that the motherboard's M.2 slots will pick up the slack. But even when you take these M.2 slots in account, for many, it's still not enough. Full tower cases, on the other hand, often feature removable drive cages which can hold 4, 6, or sometimes even 8 drives. And if you're a stickler for physical media, it's likely you'll only find optical drive bays in full-tower cases nowadays.
