An electronics chassis, preferably a personal computer (“PC”) power supply chassis, having a construction free of secondary fabrication operations and a method of manufacture therefor. The chassis comprises: (1) a bendable chassis sheet having a central portion forming a chassis base wall and a plurality of peripheral portions bent with respect to the central portion to form chassis side walls, edges of the side walls having projections interlocking with corresponding projections on edges of the side wall to fix the side walls with respect to the side wall as against lateral displacement, the bendable chassis sheet thereby forming a chassis portion having an opening therein, (2) a second bendable chassis sheet mated to the first chassis sheet and covering the opening, the second chassis sheet having a portion forming a chassis cover wall and a second portion bent with respect to the portion to form a fourth chassis side wall, side edges of the cover wall and outer edges of the side walls having interlocking projections and recesses preventing the side walls from separating from the cover wall, (3) structures for removably attaching a cover wall to an outer edge of the second wall and a side wall to a base wall.
