Abstract
A computer enclosure (100) includes a computer housing (1) and a drive bracket (6) mounted in the housing. The computer housing has at least a front panel (10), a side panel (50) and a bottom panel (30). The front panel has at least one finger (12). The side panel (50) has two supporting plates (52) each having a plurality of cutouts (53). The bottom panel has at least one post (32). The drive bracket has a base (60), a first side wall (62), a second side wall (64) and an end wall (66) which together define a space for receiving a disk drive therein. The first side wall forms a second chamber having a pair of opposite faces (74) abuttingly secured between the supporting plates of the side panel. The second side wall forms a bent plate (82) defining at least one aperture (84) for engagement with the finger of the front panel. The end wall defines a cutout (65) to retain the post of the bottom panel. The second side wall further forms at least one plate (86) and one finger (88) for securing a second drive bracket to the housing.
