Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a rear panel ( ) and a fastener ( ) detachably and rotatably mounted to the rear panel. The rear panel defines a plurality of parallel slots ( ) for receiving expansion cards ( ). A pair of limbs ( ) is formed on the rear panel for locking the fastener in place. The rear panel forms semi-circular pivots ( ) to which the fastener is pivotally attached. The fastener is thus rotatably movable between a first position and a second position during assembly. When located at the first position, the fastener does not engage with the covers, thereby allowing the expansion card covers to be attached to or detached from the rear panel. When located at the second position, the fastener is secured to the rear panel by the limbs, and engages with the covers.
