A computer enclosure includes a cage ( 200 ) and a drive bracket ( 100 ) for pivotably attaching storage devices ( 300 ) to the cage. The cage includes a front panel ( 240 ), two side panels ( 260 ), and two supporting walls ( 280 ). Each supporting wall has a rim ( 281 ). A guideway ( 282 ) is defined in the supporting wall. A guiding entrance ( 284 ) defined in the rim separates the rim into front and rear parts. The front part includes a protrusion ( 288 ). The drive bracket includes spaces for accommodating the storage devices therein, and two side plates ( 140 ) each having a railway ( 142 ). Each railway defines a cutout ( 143 ). The railways are slidable along the guideways between a first position in which the protrusions are inserted into the cutouts and the storage devices are partly received in the cage and a second position in which the storage devices are fully received in the cage.

1. A computer enclosure comprising:a cage comprising a front panel and a pair of supporting walls, the front panel defining at least one window, each of the supporting walls defining a guideway; anda drive bracket defining at least one receiving space for accommodating at least one data storage device therein, the drive bracket comprising a front plate defining at least one opening corresponding to the at least one window for providing external access to the at least one data storage device, and a pair of side plates each having a railway, the railways being slidable along the guideways whereby the drive bracket is pivotably attached to the cage. 2. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cage further comprises a pair of side panels each having a first strip extending inwardly therefrom, and each of the supporting walls has a rim abutting and being secured to a corresponding first strip. 3. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the first strips forms a recessed portion, and each of the side plates of the drive bracket has an outer flange supported on a corresponding recessed portion. 4. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of the recessed portions defines a slot, and each of the flanges has an insertion tab received in a corresponding slot. 5. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 4, wherein each of the flanges defines a first aperture, each of the recessed portions defines a second aperture, each of the rims defines a third aperture, and fasteners are extended through the first, second and third apertures to secure the flanges, recessed portions and rims together. 6. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the rims has a guiding entrance separating the rim into a front part and a rear part. 7. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the front part is an arcutate such that a lowermost end of the front part is adjacent the guiding entrance. 8. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of the railways defines a cutout, and each of the front parts has a protrusion extending upwardly therefrom and being received in a corresponding cutout. 9. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the side panels further comprises a second strip secured to the front panel. 10. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the supporting walls extend inwardly from opposite sides of the front panel and are spaced from corresponding side panels. 11. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the supporting walls depend from the first strips, respectively, and each of the supporting walls is spaced from a corresponding side panel. 12. The computer enclosure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the supporting walls are separate member and secured to the side panels. 13. A computer comprising:at least one data storage device;a cage comprising a front panel, a pair of supporting walls being perpendicular to the front panel and providing a guideway, and a horizontal rim defining a guiding entrance separating the horizontal rim into a front part and a rear part, the front part having a protrusion; anda drive bracket accommodating the at least one data storage device therein, the drive bracket comprising a pair of side plates each having a railway, each of the railways defining a cutout, whereinthe railways are slidable along the guideways between a first position in which the protrusions are received in the cutouts and the at least data storage device is partly received in the cage and a second position in which the at least data storage device is fully received in the cage. 14. The computer as claimed in claim 13, wherein the front part is arcuate and a rearmost end of the front part is lowermost from which the protrusion extends. 15. The computer as claimed in claim 13, wherein the cage comprises a pair of side panels each having a horizontal bent strip below which a corresponding horizontal rim is secured, and each of the side plates of the drive bracket comprises a flange supported on a corresponding horizontal bent strip in the second position. 16. The computer as claimed in claim 15, wherein each of the horizontal bent strips defines a slot, and each of the flanges has an insertion tab inserted into a corresponding slot in the second position. 17. The computer as claimed in claim 13, wherein the guideways span from corresponding guiding entrances to a bottom front portion of the supporting walls, respectively. 18. A computer enclosure comprising:a cage defining a pair of opposite supporting walls along a front-to-back direction;a drive bracket defining a pair of side plates corresponding to said supporting walls, respectively;guiding means formed on one of said supporting walls and said side plates;railway means formed on the other one of said supporting walls and said side plates;via railway means moving along the guiding means, the drive bracket being able to steadily and supportably move, from a lower horizontal position, relative to the cage in a first oblique manner along a front/lower to rear/higher direction, whereinsaid cage and said drive bracket are configured to have relatively large clearance between said rail means and said guiding means when said drive bracket is moved to an upper position relative to the cage, thus results in said drive bracket being able to be rotated relative to the cage and finally extending in a second oblique manner along a front/higher to rear/lower direction and supportably suspended above the cage. 19. The enclosure as claimed in claim 18, wherein said guiding means and said railway means include means for supporting said drive bracket in position in said second oblique manner.
