Description

Computer case {COMPUTER CASE}

The present invention relates to a computer case, and more particularly to a computer case having a pedestal at the bottom of the computer case.

Generally, a computer case refers to a structure that surrounds and protects main components of a computer such as a main board and a power supply, and is manufactured in a rectangular box shape using a material such as metal or plastic. In addition, a power button for controlling the power supply of the power supply is provided on the front of the computer case.

When a computer with such a computer case is provided in a limited space such as a PC room, it is difficult to place both a monitor, a computer body, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. on a desk due to the limited space. Therefore, in many cases, the monitor is in close contact with the side of the computer main body. When the monitor is in close contact with the side of the computer main body, it is difficult to organize the monitor cable connecting the monitor and the computer main body and the monitor power cable for supplying power to the monitor. There is a problem. In addition, the power button of the computer main body is generally provided at the front side. However, in this case, the light of the power button provided in the front of the computer main body, such as a chair, another computer or a partition, is obscured, making it difficult for an administrator to visually recognize the light of the power button. Thus, it is difficult for an administrator to manage the power states of a plurality of computers.

In addition, in a PC room, an administrator uses an external hard disk drive to install or reinstall an operating system (OS) of a computer. However, in order to connect an external hard disk drive to a computer main body, it is inconvenient to open a computer case and connect a data cable and a power supply power cable of an internal motherboard to the external hard disk drive. Of course, there is also a method having a hard rack that can easily connect a separate external hard disk drive to a plurality of computer body, which is a problem that additional costs are generated because the hard rack must be purchased separately.

Also, hard disk drives and optical disk drives are generally mounted to the front of the computer case. However, the hard disk drive and the optical disk drive generates a lot of heat during operation, but until now computer case has a problem that can not be discharged effectively.

An object of the present invention is to provide a computer case that can easily organize the monitor cable, the administrator can easily grasp the power state of the computer main body.

In general, the front opening 170 of the desktop computer case is provided at a position close to the rear (BWS) or the rear (BWS) of the computer case in a one-touch manner or a screwing method or a locking device. However, in this case, in order to open the side of the computer case, there is inconvenience such as moving the rear surface BWS of the computer case to the front. Therefore, the present invention is provided with a front opening portion 170 including a locking device that can open the front surface (FWS) with a key or the like on the front surface (FWS) of the body 100 even if the body 100 is not moved. The front surface FWS of the body 100 can be easily opened.

The pedestal 200 is for supporting the body 100 from the bottom, and includes a first pedestal 210 and a second pedestal 220.

The first pedestal 210 is provided on the side of the second side surface S2, which is one side of the bottom surface BS of the body 100, and may be formed in a 'c' shape based on the plan view. In addition, the first pedestal 210 preferably has a sufficient height to provide a sufficient space for the cable of the monitor to pass through the lower surface (BS) of the body (100).

The second pedestal 220 is provided on the first side surface S1, which is the other side of the lower surface BS of the body 100, and is spaced apart from the first pedestal 210 by a predetermined distance. In this case, the second pedestal 220 is also provided to face the same shape as the first pedestal 210. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the shape of the first pedestal 210 and the second pedestal 220, if the structure that can pass the cable of the monitor between the first pedestal 210 and the second pedestal 220 It can be manufactured in any form.

As described above, the present invention can provide a computer case having a pedestal at the bottom of the computer case, which can be arranged by passing a cable exposed to the outside of the computer, such as a monitor cable, to the bottom of the computer case. In addition, the present invention can provide a computer case having a light emitting power button on the upper surface of the computer case, the administrator can easily determine the power supply of the computer main body. In addition, the present invention is provided with a hard disk drive storage space and an optical drive storage space on the inner surface of the upper surface of the computer case, the hard disk drive vents and the optical drive vents on the upper surface of the computer case of the corresponding area to maximize the heat dissipation performance A computer case can be provided.
