Case, Tower, Chassis, or Rack. The terminology is not standardized and changes from region to region, company to company, and user to user.

Most commonly 'Case' and 'Tower' are used by normal desktop users. 'Chassis' is used in European countries and by businesses. 'Rack' is usually in reference to Chassis for servers or Rackmount units.

It should be noted that according to the A+ Certification, the correct term is 'Chassis'. This is also the 'correct' term according to Microsoft and IBM. Other certifications may disagree. Take with a grain of salt.
