ABSTRACT:
A device for the chassis of a computer case that prevents unauthorized access to the internal components thereof is disclosed. The device includes a `U` shaped member, positioned primarily inside the chassis, such that if one arm is pulled forward against a spring bias through an aperture in the chassis by a user, the other arm of the `U` fastens the cover of the computer case to the base. In addition, an a hole positioned near the tip of the arm that is pulled through the aperture to allow the user to attach a locking mechanism to the fastening device, thus preventing the disengagement and the opening up of the computer case by others. As a result, expensive electrical components located inside the chassis, including a CPU, will not be accessible to outsiders. The user is free to select the type of locking mechanism that is attached to the fastening device. When unlocked and released from the user's fingers, the spring bias causes the fastening member to retreat almost entirely inside the aperture of the chassis, thus concealing the hole is that used to fit the shackle of the lock.
