Why does one spend so much on a cabinet when u get stuff ro around 1.5 k also with an smps?? Just asking out of curiousity. Have to buy a new pc soon. So trying to understand the importance of the cabinet and why one would spend so much on it.
Importance of Cabinet
1. Proper ventilation for components.
2. Ease of access to components inside and installation.
3. Room for expansion.
4. Safety of costly computer components.
5. Bling factor (only for some, not for me)
Importance of Power Supply
1. Safe and Clean power for components.
2. Adequate power for components.
3. Reliability of operation while doing either of the above two points.
4. Efficiency of operation (Power utilization vs wastage)
5. Expansion room for future.
Most of all, choosing a good PSU and Cabinet is a first step in building a Stable PC and ensures peace of mind for you.
If you think 5k is a huge budget for either of these two important, but typically neglected components, then wait till you hear that I spent 26k on these two components alone. :bleh:
