Advantages of a Full ATX Case VS a Mid Tower
Somewhat recently, I built a new desktop computer. I have a work specific laptop, so this PC was primarily for gaming. However, I will also use it to browse the web, check email, as a print server, and as another place to backup my files. In the past, when I have built a PC, I have gone with a mid ATX tower. However, with my latest built, I decided to opt for a full ATX case. Specifically, I went with the Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Case. As a side note, I would definitely recommend this case. Let’s take a look at the advantages of a full ATX case, in particular, when compared to a mid tower.

Best E-Readers for Reading Books and PDFs – The Top 3 That Stand Out
When E-Readers first came out, they were used for just reading. Now, there are so many E-Readers and tablets on the market that do so much more than reading. You can use them to browse the web, check email, and more. Some people are just not looking for all these extra features. These features can be distracting at times and they really just want the device to well, read. Let’s take a look at the best E-Readers for reading books, PDFs, and articles.
The Kindle Paperwhite, from Amazon, is one of the top E-Readers on the market. This device was truly made for people who just want to read. It is super light weight and its no glare screen makes it ideal for reading in the bright sun. Unlike most regular tablets, the battery on the Kindle Paperwhite lasts for days, so won’t have to stop right when you are really starting to get into a book. One more great thing is that this E-Reader won’t interrupt you with email alerts or other messages, so you can truly dive into a book on this device.
