ABSTRACT:
An appliance such as a personal computer includes a metal chassis which comprises a main chassis section and a subchassis hingedly connected to the main chassis section for rotation about a horizontal axis between folded-in and folded-out positions. The subchassis carries operational components such as a power supply and a drive, and the main chassis section carries an operational component such as a motherboard. When the subchassis is in its folded-in position it overlies the motherboard and blocks access thereto, and when in its folded-out position the subchassis provides access to the motherboard. In its folded-in position the subchassis sits upon horizontal edges of the main chassis section.
