Patent ID: 8179675

Claim:
A computer case with adjustable hard disk drive and interface card accommodation space, comprising: a frame, which forms an internal space having a lengthwise dimension extending from a main board input/output zone toward a location where a main board is adapted to mount, the lengthwise length of the internal space being in a range having a lower bound of being greater than or equal to 300 mm and an upper bound of being smaller than or equal to 480 mm, the frame comprising a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, a right panel, a top panel, and a bottom panel, which together define an accommodation space, and a plurality of interface card slots formed on the rear panel of the frame and adapted to receive interface cards to plug therein; an optic disk drive rack, which is received in the accommodation space at a location adjacent to the front panel; a first fixed hard disk drive rack and a second fixed hard disk drive rack, the first fixed hard disk drive rack being mounted to a bottom surface of the optic disk drive rack inside the accommodation space, the first and second fixed hard disk drive racks forming a plurality of chambers for respectively receiving and retaining hard disk drives, the second fixed hard disk drive rack being mounted atop the bottom panel inside the accommodation space and in alignment with and substantially under the first fixed hard disk drive rack; and at least one removable hard disk drive holder, which forms a plurality of chambers for respectively receiving and retaining hard disk drives, the removable hard disk drive holder being removably received inside the frame at a location adjacent to the front panel and corresponding to a direction along which the interface cards plugged in the interface card slots extend, whereby the removal of the removable hard disk driver holder out of the computer case forms an open and unoccupied space at a location corresponding to the extension direction of the interface cards and whereby the unoccupied space formed by removal of the removable hard disk drive holder enables formation of an interface card accommodation space, which partially receives excessive extension of the interface cards therein, by removing the removable hard disk drive holder out of the frame and thus discarding the space initially accommodating the removable hard disk drive holder, so that the frame allows for selective accommodation of a computer that adopts interface cards or a computer requiring a great storage space of multiple hard disk drives.
