Computer enclosure incorporating drive brackets

A computer enclosure comprising:

• a cage comprising a front panel and a side panel, a first plate integrally formed with the front panel and opposing the side panel, the first plate and the side panel cooperatively constituting a large bracket;
• a small bracket attached to the cage, the small bracket comprising a pair side walls each having a shoulder on a top portion thereof, a second plate being secured on the shoulders and covering the small bracket;
• and
• a cover attached to the cage, wherein
• a pair of flanges respectively extends perpendicularly from longitudinal free edges of the shoulders, each flange defines a locking cutout, and the first plate and the side panel each forms a locking member engaging in a corresponding locking cutout.

A computer enclosure comprising:

• a cage comprising a front panel and a side panel perpendicular to said front panel;
• a vertical plate integrally extending rearwardly from a side edge of an opening in the front panel and parallel to said side panel;
• said vertical plate cooperating with said side panel to define a first drive bracket;
• and
• a second drive bracket being discrete from said front panel and said side panel and located in vertical alignment with said first drive bracket;
• wherein
• a first space defined in said first drive bracket and a second space defined in said second drive bracket are isolated from each other via a horizontal plate provided by said second drive bracket.

A computer enclosure comprising:

• a cage having a front panel and a side panel, a vertical plate integrally formed with the front panel and opposing the side panel to form a large drive bracket;
• a small drive bracket attached within the cage and engaged with the large bracket, the small drive bracket comprising a pair of side walls, each of the side walls having a shoulder on a top portion thereof, a pair of flanges respectively extending perpendicularly from longitudinal free edges of the shoulders and engaging with the vertical plate and the side panel respectively;
• a horizontal plate secured on the small bracket, wherein the vertical plate, side panel and horizontal plate cooperatively constitute a large bracket adapted for receiving at least one storage device therein;
• and
• a cover fixed to the cage.
