How will the computer case develop？

The development trend of PC computers is predicted from 2021-2026. At the same time, according to the latest IDC research data, the shipment of PC computers in 2021 will continue the growth momentum of 2020, and it is more likely to reach a growth rate of 18.2%, that is, about 350 million units. However, it can also be found from the specific forecast chart of PC computer shipments that the growth rate in 2022 may drop sharply below zero.

DIY computer is also one of the important driving forces of computer development. Let's take a look at the development of DIY computer trend. First of all, from the perspective of the expansibility of the host, computers in the past were in the era of stacking, occupying a large position in the chassis. Later, there is a trend of RGB, and all kinds of lighting accessories will be used. Now people prefer the ITX case with small size and strong performance, and it can be carried with a handle. The development trend makes the custom rack cases smaller and smaller, and people like the small case more and more.

According to the development of science and technology, and the iteration of hardware updates, notebook computers have become thinner and smaller.

ITX chassis is one of the key types of computer chassis. HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer), as a new concept of PC overall solution, has all the functions of PC, but focuses more on the field of home theater. This type of square cheap rackmount case still has a horizontal motherboard inside, but the power supply is mounted above the motherboard. Because this type of chassis is taller and longer than the HTPC type, it also supports video cards much better and has good hardware compatibility. After the square ITX chassis became popular, it happened that the HTPC trend was fading. It seemed that everyone suddenly found that the ITX chassis did not have to look like a DVD player. It was also a solution to make the original ATX tower chassis smaller. This back-to-back structure of motherboards and graphics cards can better solve the heat dissipation and hardware installation problems of mainstream high-end platforms. The A4 structure is the optimal solution for today's ITX chassis.
