Abstract
Techniques are provided for constructing an appliance housing without the need for vertical fasteners. In one or more implementations, the structural components of an appliance housing are fashioned with a set of engagement points and slots, the engagement points and slots acting to physically arrest the structural components when assembled. Horizontal fasteners are then used to further secure the appliance housing.
