Patent number: 7894193Abstract: A mechanism for saving space in a desktop computer allows the number of groove holes of a back plate of a rack is less than the number of interface card slots of a motherboard to cause at least one of the interface card slots to be left unused so as to shorten the height of the back plate and further to shorten the height of the rack. Furthermore, a design allowing the rear end of a power support to be extended out of the back plate to the outside with a small distance by moving the back plate toward the front end of the rack further to shorten the length of the rack to allow a desktop computer to be lighter and handier.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Aopen Inc.Inventors: Chun-Chang Lai, Chien-Ching Chang

Patent number: 7813126Abstract: A plate combination type computer housing comprises a bottom plate, a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, a fourth plate, a upper plate and four fixing rods. Whereby, the number of molds for manufacturing the housing can be reduced so as to save the production cost, and it is unnecessary to process screw locking to allow the four fixing rods to be respectively coupled to the first plate, the second plate, the third plate and the fourth plate such that the assembly is easier to reduce the assembly time substantially and hence, no screws and no fixing rods are exposed outside the computer housing to influence the modeling design of an outlook of the computer housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2007Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Aopen Inc.Inventors: Bao-Hung Chen, Chun-Chang Lai

Patent number: 7440268Abstract: A computer case includes a primary frame body formed from a plurality of primary supports, a cover case mounted on the outside of the primary frame body, and a power supply coupled to the rear area of the primary frame body. The computer case preferably also includes a power supply support frame so that the power supply can be fixed, in a steady manner, onto the primary frame body. In addition, for the ornamental purposes, an ornamental case can be coupled to the outside of the power supply.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: AOPEN Inc.Inventors: Jui-Hu Lan, Cheng Tu, Chun-Chang Lai, Te-An Lin
