A housing structure includes a main cabinet and a fixing mechanism. The main cabinet has an opening formed thereon and includes a side panel and a front panel. A groove is formed on the edge portion of the front panel adjacent to the side panel. A receiving slot is formed on the front panel and adjacent to the groove. The fixing mechanism includes a latch and an elastic member. The latch may be movably disposed on the side panel. A first hook is formed on the latch. When covering the opening with the side panel, the latch is abutted by the front panel. The restoration of the elastic member interlocks the side panel to the front panel securely to close the housing structure.
