Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a frame having a bottom plate and front and rear plates mounted to and extending from opposite edges of the bottom plate. A front bezel is mounted to the front plate. The front bezel has a plurality of resilient arms each forming a barb. The front plate defines a plurality of first openings for receiving the arms therein. A tab is connected to an edge of each first opening by an arcuate section for guiding the barb of the corresponding arm into the first opening whereby the barb engages with a free edge of the tab with the arm supported thereby. A plurality of bores is defined in the front plate with a tubular projection extending from the front plate surrounding each bore. A positioning pin extending from the bezel is snappingly received in the corresponding bore with the pin contacting and supported by an inside surface of the tubular projection thereby protecting the pin from being damaged by a sharp edge of the bore. A second opening is defined in the front plate for extension of wires of switches and indicators mounted on the bezel therethrough. A circumferential wall is formed on the front plate to surround the second opening for supporting the wires thereby preventing the wires from being damaged by a sharp edge of the second opening.
