ABSTRACT:
An enclosure and method for enclosing electronic devices. The enclosure includes channel-shaped members that each have a convex side and a concave side. The enclosure further includes a substantially planar outer surface and an attachment device for attaching the substantially planar outer shell to the concave side of the channel-shaped member such that a rigid, enclosed, substantially tubular structural member is formed, thereby forming a rigid chassis. Additionally, the attachment device includes a trench-shaped member, attached to said substantially planar outer shell, and located between the channel-shaped member and the substantially planar outer shell. The trench-shaped member also includes a fixed device for temporarily fixing the trench-shaped member to the concave side of the channel-shaped member. The enclosure includes four channel-shaped members, such that each channel-shaped member includes a corner post positioned within the enclosure apparatus to form a substantially rectangular structure. In addition, each trench-shaped member includes a stiffener hat section. The substantially planar outer shell includes a removable side cover assembly that has an outer surface and an inner surface, such that the stiffener hat section is affixed to the inner surface and received in an open channel of the corner post.
