ABSTRACT:
A personal computer case having a rectangular front panel with a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides. A drive housing can be attached to the case in either a desktop position in which drives mounted in the housing extend parallel to the front panel's long sides; or, in a tower position in which drives mounted in the housing extend parallel to the front panel's short sides. A separate control panel can be attached to the drive housing, parallel to the drives. The drive housing has a square cross-section sized to receive the control panel and a plurality of industry standard width drives stacked atop one another. Preferably, the cross-section is sized to receive the control panel and up to three industry standard 51/4" wide drives stacked atop one another. The front panel has an aperture with the same cross-section as the drive housing. The drive housing is positioned behind the aperture so that drives mounted in the housing remain accessible through the aperture. A plurality of cover plates are provided to cover portions of the drive housing in which no drive is mounted. The cover plates can be mounted in the front panel aperture in a desktop position in which the cover plates extend parallel to the front panel's long sides; or, in a tower position in which the cover plates extend parallel to the front panel's short sides.
