ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a computer enclosure, and particularly to a computer enclosure incorporating a movable mother board tray for facilitating mounting a mother board.
2. The Related Art
A conventional computer enclosure includes a cage and a fixed mother board tray incorporated in the cage proximate a side thereof for supporting a mother board thereon. The fixed mother board tray complicates the operation of mounting a mother board in the cage. Furthermore, the complicated operation of mounting the mother board requires a large amount of space inside the cage for the operation. This increases the size of the computer enclosure.
Thus, it is desired to have a movable mother board tray which facilitates mounting a mother board and promotes miniaturization of a computer enclosure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a computer enclosure comprising a movable mother board tray for facilitating mounting a mother board.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer enclosure comprising a movable mother board tray for facilitating miniaturization of the computer enclosure.
To fulfil the objects mentioned above, a computer enclosure in accordance with the present invention comprises a cage with a pair of brackets fixed therein for rotatably supporting a mother board tray to which a mother board is fixed. The cage defines a receiving space for receiving the mother board tray. The mother board tray is pivotally connected to the brackets for moving with respect to the cage thereby allowing the mother board to be mounted to and/or removed from the mother board tray at a position outside the cage.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
