Computer case side panel selection Cast Acrylic Sheet or tempered glass

For the chassis, the function is very important. Otherwise, it will affect normal use. Of course, the most important thing is the appearance of the chassis. Pay attention to the visual effects of the players in the purchase of the chassis, like picking the side panel chassis, especially the side panel area is relatively large chassis because the side panel chassis can directly show the internal platform for the user, giving a visual impact, if the user installed a dazzling fan or cool water cooling with the side panel chassis will significantly improve the overall visual effect of the computer, so in recent years Many gaming cases have adopted a side-by-side design.

Cast Acrylic Sheet

There are 2 main materials for the side panel: Cast Acrylic Sheet and tempered glass. The side of the material directly affects the appearance of the chassis and lighting display effect, even if the Cast Acrylic Sheet is also divided into high and low. Many businesses, to reduce costs, will use low-quality plastic to do side panels, so the side of the case from the appearance the perspective of the lower grade.

Cast an Acrylic Sheet as plexiglass. The reason why it is called "glass" is because of the excellent light transmission. And tempered glass, there is almost no gap, so the two are the same in terms of transparency. But it should be noted that as side panels chassis, Cast Acrylic Sheets are often divided into blackened and ordinary acrylic side panels. Blackened Cast Acrylic Sheets have reduced light transmission, to a certain extent, to cover the internal non-illuminated parts, which can be a more prominent RGB effect but also, to a certain extent, reduce the brightness of the RGB.

Tempered glass has good thermal stability, can withstand a temperature difference of three times the ordinary glass, and can withstand a temperature change of 300 ℃. The limit of the temperature difference in the chassis is only a few dozen degrees. Secondly, the impact strength of a tempered glass of the same thickness is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass, and the bending strength is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass. When external forces damage the glass, the fragments will become similar to the honeycomb-shaped sharp angle broken small particles, not easy to cause serious injury to the human body. Of course, in the normal use of the process, you can not because it is tempered glass is rough on it. Tempered glass is just glass but also very fragile.

We may have found that the new Cast Acrylic Sheet chassis side panel are easy to have scratches, and the hardness of the Cast Acrylic Sheet, the hardness of Cast Acrylic Sheet is to help protect the hardware in the chassis, but compared to the hardness of the plate is still a certain gap. Players in the pursuit of visual effects simultaneously pay attention to the thickness of the Cast Acrylic Sheet. Through the explanation of some chassis manufacturers' engineers, it is recommended that players choose more than 2.8mm-3.0mm thickness of the Cast Acrylic Sheet, about the color and the issue of openings also according to the players' own needs to choose.

Compared to the general acrylic and plastic side panels, tempered glass side panels have stronger light transmission, so after the formation of the light pollution platform, the visual effect of tempered glass chassis to better, and tempered glass wear resistance than acrylic after some time. They will not be as full of scratches as the Cast Acrylic Sheet, affecting the aesthetics. At the same time, due to the large weight of the tempered glass itself, it can effectively stabilize the body and prevent chassis resonance.

Tempered glass is also very fragile due to the material, followed by the high cost of tempered glass, usually used in some high-end chassis, which also leads to the high price of these cases. On the tempered glass side of the case, there is a fatal problem - the self-exploding tempered glass. This situation is the case in the normal state of no external interference. Suddenly, tempered glass side panels explode open. Suppose the side panel explodes when no one is using okay. If you explode during normal use, it is likely to lead to injuries, seriously affecting the safety of our personal property.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, so in the choice of computer chassis side panel, according to their own needs between the two to do detailed consideration, if you need more detailed understanding, welcome to contact us!
