Should a power supply be on the top or the bottom of a computer case?

Posted: 28 Apr 2011 11:49 PM PDT

Having seen computer cases with power supply units (PSUs) positioned at the top and on the bottom of a computer case (tower), I wonder if there is an optimal place to put the PSU?

It seems that 90% of cases have the PSU at the top, and the reason is partly historical:

The PSU heat exhaust fan also doubled as a heat exhaust fan for the the case as a whole.

On the whole, it works well: most systems are mid – low end, so the components don’t generate much heat, so the PSU is not under much additional heat stress.

However, some high-end systems generate large amounts of heat (due to overclocking and due to high-end video cards that generate a lot of heat).

However, most high-end systems are now built into cases that have multiple fans that usually extract heat before it can get into the PSU.

But if heat is your main problem, then a low-mounted PSU means that it will always draw in cool air.

The other thing to consider is dust.

Having seem many PCs, I know that most PCs have a huge build-up of dust, and most people never bother opening up their PC to clean it.

With dust, a top-mounted PSU is less likely to get a buildup of dust.

Proof of that is when I open most PCs, I usually see a layer of dust at the bottom of the case, but no dust at the top… obviously!

So, when mounting a PSU at the bottom of a case, its important to make sure its unlikely to suck up dust (either by using a filter… which needs regular cleaning, or by regularly “dusting” inside your case.

The only real advantage (that I can see) of having a bottom-mounted PSU, is that the tower is less top-heavy and thus less likeley to fall over if bumped.

So, it seems that in most cases, a top-mounted PSU is best, while a bottom-mounted PSU might be better for a high-end system, but only if you are prepared to clean it every few months.

Hanging And Wall Potracks For Your Kitchen

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 03:50 AM PDT

Organizing stuff in the house is one of the many things I really love doing. Isn't it nice to live in a home that everything is in proper place especially in the kitchen? Thanks I had enclume pot racks that help me organize things like my utensils. You can actually choose a hanging or wall mounted enclume pot rack but among this two what I really like is the wall mounted pot racks because I save space since it is just mounted in the walls and don't have to worry to organize some of my kitchen stuff.

The enclume potracks are also a perfect gift for a newlywed couple especially if they are just started with their new home. You can even gift this to your mother during mother's day because it is not an ordinary pot racks you see in the market. Moms will surely love this because of its unique and classic design.

Quality Address Plaques For Your Home

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 03:02 PM PDT

Have you shifted to a new home? Are you planning to decorate your home nicely from inside? But, what about the identity of the house which is at the outside of the house? The identity of house is because of the address plaques. It is just the address plaque which tells about the address of the house, which tells about the owner of the house, or the one to whom the house belongs to.

You get all your important mails in your mailbox, but how will you be able to get those, if you don't have the address signs. The address plaques tell about the address of your home and this is why it is considered as one of the important things when you think of designing your house. Get the house address plaques and give your home an identity, so that people are not los when they come to see you or to drop he parcels.

Taking Other Options

After graduation, we find it hard to decide what right course we are going to take to become successful individuals in the future. We also have to consider the perfect school where we could enroll to pursue our dreams. The disadvantage is that if we live far from school, it is very time consuming to get there and so we tend to stay in a boarding house and that would mean additional expenses. Online Courses is one option for us to consider while thinking of the best courses to take; the kind of courses where we can study on our own at a very low cost. With all the advantages online, we can even do both studying and working part-time. It also incurs less expense because we can do it in our own home.

There are lots of courses to choose from because they have some courses that schools did not offer. And one of these courses is online degree programs in art history. If your interest is in this field, this is perfect for you.
