Abstract

A computer enclosure has a drive bay for multiple hard disk drives implemented in the rear panel rather than in the front as is conventional, providing sufficient storage capacity for use as a file server in a mini-tower architecture. In an alternative embodiment side panels are designed for quick removal by moving a panel against a spring element for release. In one embodiment access to the drive bay in the rear panel is controlled by a security door with a lock, and security screws for the removable side panels are located behind the security door. In another embodiment, a fan bracket is provided allowing a single fan to be located in different positions, or for multiple fans to be used. Fans may be easily added or replaced without powering down the computer, and provision is made in the fan bracket for mounting a speaker for the system.
