What is an open-concept computer box

Box, computer, openconcept


You will see that in many images and events such as Computex or CES, manufacturers use these type of boxes to showcase their resources, and the first thing that comes to mind, and more with this name, is that they are boxes to better teach your Hardware The truth is another, and more profitable boxes but also some objectors, so let's talk about it in detail.

What is an open mind box?

The open concept in the box refers to the fact that you don't have any spaces anymore hardware is always available without including anything. In other words, these types of boxes are not intended to show all the amenities, but rather to be able to position and remove them with great ease. In fact, the idea was born from the ancients Bench Examination or Test Lab, "boxes" include just a piece of metal on which to place the board, which has power and reset buttons and much less.

These types of boxes, like everything else in the hardware world, came from what they are today, their open concept should be described as "open", because although accessing Hardware is very simple the general rule – that in the case of a standard PC, doesn't end there have material "in the air", which is the essence of its meaning.

Are you looking for one of these boxes? Advantages and disadvantages

The biggest advantage lies in the definition of an open concept box: accessing Hardware faster and you do not have to assemble and assemble multiple parts than we want to put in and take off.

Something else that may be considered good but may be a punishment is refrigerator. Not having Hardware "installed" in the box can be seen as a benefit to promote better cooling, so it can be in a box with no proper air flow and where to build hot air packs. The reality, however, is quite different, since these types of boxes have no active cooling and no air flow.

In other words, for example we do not have fans pointing to a hard drive or a graphics card and that can suffer because we will rely more on local temperatures.

The most obvious disadvantage is that in these types of boxes, the powder is added to the nutrients with surprising ease, and the lack of dust filters are all dirt on the front. On the other hand, and especially for users who don't care, having hardware in the air can mean that let's play where we shouldn't go and that we are causing major hardware breakdowns, or we could be harming ourselves if for example we were playing fans by moving, so be very careful. This, in today's open concept boxes – which, as we have said, is already quite different from the original Bench Test – is not possible.

Who would want to have such a box in their system? Who constantly changing Hardware for testing for whatever reason and do not always require a PC case to be opened. Indeed, we would not recommend this type of box to any other type of user, even in entertainment.
