A mini-tower case is a type of computer chassis designed to house computer components while maintaining a compact size. Typically taller than a desktop case but shorter than a full tower, it offers a balance between space efficiency and expandability. Mini-tower cases usually support standard motherboards like ATX and microATX, making them versatile for various builds. These cases often come with multiple drive bays for hard drives and solid-state drives, as well as space for graphics cards and cooling systems. Their design allows for better airflow and cable management, making them suitable for both gaming and general-purpose computers.
