- the frame member 410 is constructed by assembling a plurality of anchor frames; and a plurality of corner parts 21 1 by screws. That is, also in this embodiment, the inner frame in the first embodiment is omitted, and the frame member 410 is easily formed by connecting the plurality of water frames and the corner parts directly with a screw, so that the frame member is disassembled. Is also simplified.
- the left and right sides of the large disk drive 310 while holding the left and right sides of the large disk drive 310, the left and right fixed to the lower surface (rear surface) of the pay fixed panel 510 attached to the water frame on the upper surface of the case 400.
- a pair of first angle panels 3 1 1, 3 1 1 (the same shape as the second and third embodiments) and a small disk drive 3 disposed so as to overlap with the lower part of the large disk drive 3 10 With the left and right side surfaces of 3 0 sandwiched, the left and right first angle panels 3 1 1, 3 1 1 And the left and right angle panels 32 2 and 3 2 1 (each of which has the same shape as the second and third embodiments).
- the first angle panel 31 1 of this embodiment and the third left and right angle panels 32 2 and 3 21 1 are the first angle panel 31 1 and the third angle panel in the second and third embodiments.
- the same shape as the left and right angle panels 3 2 2 3 2 1 can be used upside down.
- the large and small disk drives 3 1 0 3 30 0 are stacked and arranged, and the left and right pair of first angle panels 3 1 1, 3 1 1 and the third left and right angle panels 3 2 It can be disassembled by being assembled with screws via 2 and 3 2 1.
- the case 400 and all the members housed in it can be disassembled and transported at the time of transportation, the packaging will not be bulky, and transportation will be easy and significant transportation cost reduction will be possible.
- the maza-one pod bay 540 on which mado-one pods and other pods are mounted has a plurality of (two in the figure, two for each) base mounting angles 5 4. 1, 5 4 1 ⁇ ⁇ 5 4 1 directly attached to the bottom and left side of the case 4 0 0 4 1 0 a, 4 1 0 a via frame 4 1.
- This point is different from the mounting configuration using the mother frame 1 in the first embodiment of the present invention in the form of a conventional personal computer in the form of a personal computer, and the like, as will be described below. Since the angle 4 4 1 has a small and simple structure, it is possible to provide a computer case which can be further reduced in space and weight and can be disassembled.
- the base mounting angle 4 41 is a thin-walled structure formed in a three-arm (trifurcated) shape similar to the second embodiment (see FIG. 33). Therefore, the detailed description of this is omitted.
- the power supply module bay for storing the power supply modules 550 is As shown in FIG. 25, this is a simple structure directly attached to the under panel 420 of the fixed surface of the case 400 by screws. In this respect, the power supply module bay in the form of the conventional personal computer, the framework member for forming the power supply module bay in the first embodiment, and the other power supply module bay attachment members are unnecessary. It is possible to provide a space saving and lightweight computer case and a dismountable computer case.
- the fan module bay 5600 for storing the fan module is directly attached to the rear panel 4300 of the rear case 4300 as shown in FIG. It is a simple structure attached by screws to 4 4 1 (Thin box type).
- the fan module bay including the mounting member
- it is possible to further save space and reduce the weight, and provide a detachable computer case. .
- the first and second angle panels 3 1 1, 3 1 2 and the third left and right angle panels 3 2 2, 3 2 1 force respectively have the same shape.
- the first and second angle panels and the third left and right angle panels can be used in common up to the small mini computer case, in which drives are stacked and assembled.
- the design and production cost of the internal memory module bay (disk drive bay) can be reduced, and the user can freely select the computer design, which is both exciting and additional expansion modules. It can also be easily stored in the case.
- the case and the internal storage module can be easily disassembled by removing the mounting screws, the packaging is not bulky, and the transportation is easy and the transportation cost can be significantly reduced. .
- the present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above embodiments.
- it can be a case of a single structure in which a water supply panel is attached to the outside of a single frame member in a standing configuration.
- it is also possible to make the shape of the case other than the illustrated embodiment.
- the shape of the inner frame, corner parts, avatar frame and metal panel can be changed according to its shape.
- the number of the tapped holes and the number of through holes of each member described above can be arbitrarily changed, and as a screw for assembling, it is possible to use a screw of another shape other than the decorative screw in FIG. .
- the user can freely design and change the design by selecting the components of the framework member and the user panel (including the size, material, finish, etc.) according to the user's preference.
- the expansion module can be easily stored in the case, without being messed up.
