Abstract

The invention discloses a computer casing, which comprises a casing, a side plate, a switch assembly and at least one elastic piece. One side of the casing is provided with a side, and the side is adjacent to an opening communicating with the inside of the casing. The side plate can selectively cover the side edge and close the opening. The switch assembly is arranged on one of the side edge and the side plate. The at least one elastic element is disposed on one of the side plate and the side edge. In the computer case of the present invention, when the switch assembly moves to the second position, the at least one elastic member swings the side plate away from the side edge, so the user only needs to control the switch assembly to move the side plate. The panel is far away from the opening to maintain the components in the computer case, and the side panel does not need to be opened manually, which is more convenient in use.
