Abstract

A computer system having electronic components housed in a central unit having a protective enclosure and a cover. The cover is moveable to provide access to electronic components housed in the central unit. The cover allows access to certain electronic components and prevents access to other electronic components.

Claims (8)

1. A computer system, comprising:

a processor;

a hard drive selectively coupleable to the processor; and

a chassis comprising:

a protective enclosure adapted to house the processor, wherein the protective enclosure forms a barrier to access to the processor;

a hard drive mounting assembly adapted to enable the hard drive to be selectively secured to the protective enclosure without use of a tool; and

a movable cover, wherein the cover is securable to the protective enclosure in a first position to prevent access to the hard drive mounting assembly and the cover is movable to a second position without use of a tool to enable access to the hard drive mounting assembly.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the movable cover is removable.
