A brace device can be inserted between the two lateral sides of the peripheral device and the lateral sides of the bay in a computer chassis. The brace device physically connects to the peripheral device to hold it in position and also exerts a compressive force to further secure the peripheral device in position. The brace device may be constructed using a first bracket and a second bracket, that is slidably engageable with the first bracket. The second bracket has a bowed elastic portion on a side opposite to the first bracket. The brace device is inserted in a slot in the side of the bay in the chassis to secure a peripheral device within the bay.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A computer housing, comprising:a body enclosing a chassis having a bay for receiving a peripheral device; anda brace device attachable to said chassis along a lateral side of said bay, said brace device being elastically biased inward from said lateral side of said bay

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A computer housing, comprising:a body enclosing a chassis having a bay for receiving a peripheral device; anda brace device attachable to said chassis along a lateral side of said bay, said brace device being elastically biased inward from said lateral side of said bay and having a plurality of plugs protruding inward from said brace device;said peripheral device being slidably insertable into said bay and engageable with said chassis both by inserting said plugs of said brace device into said peripheral device and by a compressive force exerted on said peripheral device by said brace device, said plugs having a slot in a distal end thereof for engaging said perpheral device.
