A computer housing, comprising:
- a shell having a side opening, a first side wall and a second side wall;
- the first and second side walls being located at two opposite sides of the side opening;
- wherein the first side wall includes a first piece, a connecting seat detachably mounted on the first piece, and an elastic plate secured at one end to the connecting seat and formed at the other end with a protrusive section and a sunken section extending from the protrusive section;
- a support bracket rotatably mounted on the shell and having a head portion formed with a first protruding ear to be rotatably mounted on the connecting seat of the shell, and a tail portion extending to the second side wall of the shell;
- the first protruding ear having a longer side, a shorter side connected and perpendicular to the longer side, and an oblique side connected to the shorter side and located opposite to the longer side;
- the support bracket being rotatable to a closed position where the tail portion of the support bracket is rested on the second side wall of the shell and the first protruding ear of the head portion is rested on the protrusive section of the elastic plate of the first wall, and an open position where the tail portion of the support bracket is detached from the second side wall of the shell, and the elastic plate is biased by the first protruding ear and the first protruding ear is lodged in the sunken section of the elastic plate, wherein when the support bracket is in the closed position, the longer side of the first protruding ear is directed toward the outside of the shell;
- when the support bracket is in the open position, the elastic plate is pressed and deformed by the first protruding ear, and the longer side of the first protruding ear is rested on the protrusive section of the elastic plate;
- and when the support bracket rotates to the closed position, the elastic plate is restored to its original state, and the oblique side of the first protruding ear is rested on the protrusive section of the elastic plate.
