thanks for watching tech quickie click the subscribe button then enable notifications with the Bell icon so you won't miss any future videos so the ATX standard that's so common from other boards came out all the way back in 1995 and while modern ones have become packed with features our technology back then was so primitive but not only did we have to clap our hands to turn our lights on and off but sound chips networking drive controllers etc often required separate adapter cards not only that but drives don't need as much space anymore both because single drives are much higher capacity than they were 20 years ago and because physically smaller SSDs have taken off in popularity plus internal optical drives are becoming rare on desktop pcs thanks to digital distribution of games movies music so why is it still so easy to buy large mid and full tower cases I mean who actually needs these things well believe it or not there are still a number of reasons that you might want to consider an impressively sized case with perhaps the most obvious being that you're building a powerful rig that needs more components using your computer as a home server such as an as for storing video or as a big time editing workstation can require multiple high capacity hard drives especially if you're using a raid array to backup your work or speed up performance video footage tends to take up lots of space and bulky hard drives do hold more footage more cheaply than smaller SSDs and more drives means you might need more Drive headers to connect them too which will mean a higher-end motherboard with more of them built-in or more likely an inexpensive add-in card that has extra headers on it but what if you're not video editing or running a server well even though many smaller cases can hold up to two graphics cards no problem you might still consider a bigger case if you still need to add more adapter cards such as a sound card a video capture card PCI Express SSDs that drive adapter I just mentioned or legacy i/o cards that can add older-style ports to a new system for old devices you'd still like to use scientific instruments are notorious for this and even if none of this applies to you you still may have components that run hot and a larger case may be able to help you cool things off not only will larger cases give you more room for both air and water cooling accessories like pumps radiators and fans they can provide more breathing space for your components especially if you're a tinkerer and you're into overclocking your CPU or GPU on the subject of cooling larger cases usually offer more flexibility in terms of how you configure them with some of them allowing you to relocate components like pumps or drive cages in a matter of minutes with some even going as far as to allow you to move the graphics card to a flashy location next to the window or even flip around the motherboard itself but we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about two of the most straightforward reasons one large cases give you more space to work in making building and upgrading easier and to aesthetics some people just like the look of an imposing beefy case and you'll get more room to trick it out with RGB fans custom lighting or even fancy designs etched onto the side panel so while these behemoths of the battle station world aren't for everyone there are definitely some cases where bigger is indeed better speaking of whatever I was just talking about check out private Internet access VPN not only does P ia work on up to five devices at once --is by hiding your true IP address and allowing you to bypass geo restrictions and censorship by making you appear as though you're connecting from somewhere else it also blocks unwanted connections to help prevent attacks it Auto blocks all traffic if the VPN disconnects keeping your data out of the hands of advertisers and other snoops who are tracking your activity it prevents DNS Li and even includes mace P I is built-in malware blocker P ia supports multiple VPN protocols and encryption levels allowing you to dial in the exact level of protection that you need and they've got apps for Windows Mac Android iOS Linux and the Chrome extension with support for more platforms coming soon P ia has over 3,000 servers in 28 countries and does not log user activity so what are you waiting for check them out today at the link below so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video hit that button but if you liked it hit like check out our other channels leave a comment if you have suggestions for future fast as possible and get subscribed I promise I'll never make a joke like that again I lied I will
