A computer enclosure includes a chassis ( 1 ) with a storage device bracket ( 50 ) secured therein, and a support frame ( 40 ) for securing a motherboard in the chassis. The chassis includes a bottom panel ( 10 ), a front panel ( 30 ), and a rear panel ( 20 ). An extension plate ( 34 ) extends rearwardly from the front panel. The support frame includes separately formed first and second support members ( 42, 44 ). The first support member includes a vertical plate ( 422 ) secured to the bottom panel and the extension plate, and a horizontal plate ( 424 ) secured to the bracket. The second support member is secured between the vertical plate and the rear panel. Protrusions ( 421 ) and standoffs ( 446 ) are formed on the vertical plate and the second support member respectively, for cooperatively supporting the motherboard thereon. Two openings ( 428, 432 ) are defined in the horizontal and vertical plates respectively, for dissipation of heat from the motherboard.
