Each panel has a plurality of tabs (58, 114) with apertures to receive screw fasteners (72, 116) for attachment of the panel to the rear wall of the case. Additionally, the recessed wall of the panels also includes a plurality of threaded apertures (80, 139), one each located adjacent one of the elongated slots for receiving a screw fastener to secure the rear of an accessory card.
