The combining structure of claim 1, wherein the stop comprises a curved portion of the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members arranged at the released position of the power supply unit. 3. The combining structure of claim 1, wherein the stop comprises a slot arranged in the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members. 4. The combining structure of claim 1, herein said power supply unit is arranged to be supported by an upper end of a wall on an edge of said casing of said computer system. 5. The combining structure of claim 1, wherein each of said pair of guiding members have an “L” shape allowing said power supply unit to move in a horizontal direction after being moved in said vertical direction. 6. The combining structure of claim 1, wherein said stop is arranged at an uppermost point on one of said pair of guiding members. 7. The combining structure of claim 1, wherein the stop comprises of a plurality of slots arranged in the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members. 8. A combining structure, comprising:a pair of guiding members each including a sliding guide adapted to selectively guide a power supply unit, the pair of guiding members each respectively accommodating one of a pair of guiding projections of the power supply unit;a stop arranged in at least one of the guiding members to prevent the power supply unit from translating beyond a released position of the power supply unit and separating from a casing of a computer system; anda supporter adapted to support the power supply unit when the casing of the computer system is in an open position and the power supply unit has been rotated through a predetermined angle while said power supply unit is in said released position, wherein said pair of guiding members are open at one end to allow said pair of projections on said power supply to be removed from said guiding members. 9. The combining structure of claim 8, wherein the stop comprises a curved portion of the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members arranged at the released position of the power supply unit. 10. The combining structure of claim 8, wherein the stop comprises a slot arranged in the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members. 11. The combining structure of claim 8, wherein said power supply unit is arranged to be supported by an upper end of a wall on an edge of said casing of said computer system. 12. The combining structure of claim 8, wherein each of said pair of guiding members have an “L” shape allowing said power supply unit to move in a horizontal direction after being moved in said vertical direction. 13. A combining structure, comprising:a pair of guiding members each including a sliding guide adapted to selectively guide a power supply unit, the pair of guiding members each respectively accommodating one of a pair of guiding projections of the power supply unit, the pair of guiding members being arranged in a vertical direction to allow said power supply unit to translate in a vertical direction from a m ounted position to a released position;a stop arranged in at least one of the guiding members to prevent the power supply unit from translating beyond said released position of the power supply unit and separating from a casing of a computer system; anda supporter adapted to support the power supply unit when the casing of the computer system is in an open position and the power supply unit has been rotated through a predetermined angle while said power supply unit is in said released position, wherein the stop comprises a curved portion of the sliding guide of at least one of the pair of guiding members, the curved portion of the sliding guide being curved a plurality of tunes at the released position of the power supply unit. 14. A method for moving a power supply unit in a computer casing, the method comprising:translating the power supply unit in a direction from a mounted position to a second position, moving a pair of guiding projections on said power supply unit along a pair of guiding members attached to said computer casing;rotating said power supply unit to rotate said guiding projections within said guiding members; andtranslating said power supply unit after said rotating to separate the power supply unit from the computer casing by moving said guiding projections out of openings at respective ends of the guiding members to fully separate said power supply unit from the computer casing. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising keeping said power supply unit stationary and in a fixed position by supporting said power supply unit with a supporter arranged to be in contact with an entire width of a side of the power supply unit between said rotating and said translating after said rotating. 16. The method of claim 15 further comprising said power supply unit being rotated and translated a plurality of times with said guiding projections arranged in said guiding members before said power supply unit is in the fixed position and being supported by the supporter. 17. The method of claim 14 further comprising releasing fasteners arranged to fix said power supply unit to said computer casing prior to translating the power supply unit in a vertical direction. 18. The method of claim 14, further comprising said power supply unit being translated and rotated a plurality of times with said guiding projections arranged in said guiding members prior to separating said power supply unit from said computer casing. 19. The method of claim 14, comprising resting said power supply unit onto a supporter after rotating said power supply unit and before separating said power supply unit from the computer casing.
