Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis and a hood attached to the chassis. The chassis has a rear panel defining an L-shaped slot having a first section and a second section, and a pair of side panels connecting to the rear panel. The hood has a pair of side walls engaging with the side panels of the chassis for fixing the hood to the chassis. A latch is pivotably attached to one side wall of the hood and extends into the slot of the rear panel of the chassis. The latch is movable from the first section to the second section of the slot by being forcibly rotating about the pivot to securely fix the hood to the chassis.
