ABSTRACT:
A chassis of a desktop personal computer where the cover can easily be assembled onto or removed from the base by a user without the use of screws or tools. This allows the user to gain easy access to the electrical components inside the chassis. The design of the base and the cover incorporates a set of guide pins to be inserted into a corresponding set of guide holes in order to properly position the cover onto the base. Then, the cover is fastened to the base by rotating a buckle pivotally attached to the cover to the base so that it engages the base. Finally, a slidable detent located on the cover can be slid onto the buckle, preventing the buckle from inadvertently becoming unfastened. To disassemble the cover from the base, the process is simply reversed. First, the detent is slid of the buckle, allowing the buckle to rotate. Next, the buckle is disengaged from the base by pivoting it open. Finally, the cover is removed from the base by sliding the cover off the base while extracting the guide pins from the guide pin holes.
