Should I go for a full-tower or mid-tower case?

 

Full tower cases generally have better cooling than mid tower cases. Full tower cases provide more space for optical drive bays and a large number of hard drives. So if you're thinking of a PC case that gives you enough room for upgrades and expansions, the full tower case is what you're looking for.

 

How to choose a tower case?

 

When it comes to PC cases, size matters First and foremost, decide what size case you need. There are three main case sizes: full-tower, mid-tower, and mini-ITX. Both full-tower and mid-tower cases fit standard ATX motherboards – by far the most common motherboard size on the market. Both are also suitable for smaller Micro-ATX motherboards.

Should I buy a desktop computer or a laptop?

 

If you're interested in a powerful system and don't need portability, a desktop PC generally gives you better value for money. If being mobile is important to you, a laptop is clearly the answer, albeit a little less customizable.

 

Why are laptops more expensive than desktop computers?

 

The main reason why laptops are more expensive than desktop computers is due to the development costs required to create hardware that is compact enough while still delivering the expected level of performance. And not only the performance is a big challenge.

 

Should I put the PC to sleep or shut it down?

 

In situations where you just need a quick break, sleep (or hybrid sleep) is the way to go. If you don't feel like saving all your work but need to be away for a while, hibernation is your best bet. Once in a while, it's a good idea to completely shut down your computer to keep it cool.

 

Why is forced shutdown bad?

 

Because of this, there is a way to forcibly turn off your computer's power if you run into a problem. After a few seconds, your computer will lose power and suddenly shut down. This is generally a bad idea as it can lead to data loss, file system corruption, and other issues.

 

What is a crash stop?

 

A crash occurs when the computer is forced to shut down by removing the power. Graceful shutdowns are usually done intentionally by users as part of their daily routines at the end of a workday or after home use of a computer has ended.

 

Is a hard reset bad for your computer?

 

Sometimes it's the only option and it's very unlikely to harm your hardware. Everything I've read on the subject suggests that the worst thing that can happen is you press the power button while Windows is busy writing sensitive data, corrupting the OS and forcing you to to repair or reinstall Windows.

 

How long can a computer run continuously?

 

Provided there is adequate cooling and you don't overload your power supply, you should be able to run a PC 24/7 without damaging the hardware. However, depending on the operating system used, a regular restart may be necessary.

 

Can I run my PC for 12 hours?

 

Since the PC stays on mostly for downloading, you might want to consider turning off the screen. Apart from that, your PC is at the right temperature (cold temperature) that it can work even more than 12 hours.

 

Is it bad to leave the computer on all the time?

 

Leaving your computer on doesn't cause as much stress as constantly turning it on and off. However, stress is always added at a constant rate. Whenever a computer is turned on from a complete shutdown, there is an electrical surge that causes hard drives to stutter and spin fans and other components.
