Abstract

A computer enclosure includes a chassis (10), a bezel (20), and a detaching member (30). The chassis has a plate (12) defining at least one locking aperture (123, 124) therein. The bezel is attachable to an outer surface of the plate. At least one hook (25, 26) protrudes from the bezel for engaging into the at least one locking aperture and extending into the chassis. The detaching member is rotatably attached to an inner surface of the plate for outwardly pushing the bezel. At least one pushing portion (32, 33) is formed on the detaching member for abutting against the at least one hook. Before the detaching member is rotated to outwardly push and separate the bezel away from the plate, the at least one pushing portion presses the at least one hook to release from the at least one locking aperture.
