mid-tower
Standard PC case
A mid-tower is a computer case of intermediate size, larger than a mini-tower but smaller than a full tower.
It's the most common form factor for desktop PCs, offering enough internal space for standard components—motherboard, graphics card, storage drives—without dominating a desk: I built my gaming rig in a mid-tower case.
