Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0068767A2] The invention relates to a computer housing, comprising housing parts such as housing frame parts, housing wall parts and support units for computer function units such as boards, power supply units and/or 5.25 inch units. According to the invention, the computer housing is assembled from as few as possible, similar housing parts such as housing frame parts, housing wall parts and support units for computer function units. This reduced number of parts results in a reduction in the production costs. The invention is particularly advantageous if the housing parts, such as housing frame parts, housing wall parts and support units for computer function units, are mutually exchangeable. This further reduces the number of parts. According to the invention, at least one support unit for boards has a structural shape and a fixing device that enable it to be used in the space provided in the computer housing for 5.25 inch computer units. Housings for the computer power supply units have the structural shape and fixing devices of a 5.25 inch computer function unit. This ensures that the power supply unit can fit into a standard mounting area of a 5.25 inch computer function unit.

[origin: WO0068767A2] The invention relates to a computer housing which is made up of very few, similar housing parts (1, 5, 6) such as housing frame parts, housing wall parts and support units for computer function units.
