Abstract
A computer according to a preferred embodiment of the invention may have a power supply mounted therein without the use of tool-requiring fasteners. A chassis of the computer may have a chassis hook and either a stop or an elastic catch. A power supply of the computer may have a power supply hook and either an elastic catch or a stop. When the power supply is mounted to the chassis, the power supply hook engages the chassis hook, and the elastic catch engages the stop in a manner that prevents the power supply hook from disengaging from the chassis hook.
