A computer enclosure includes a cage (10) with a rear panel (14), a side panel (20) with a flange (122a) and a fastening device (30). The fastening device includes a holder (40) attached to the side panel, an slider (50), an operator (60) with protruding bars (66), and a spring (70) disposed between the slider and the holder. The holder includes a base (41) rotatably receiving the operator and pairs of hooks (447) for movably holding the slider. The slider includes a pair of cutouts (522) and a fastening portion (55). The operator is rotated and the protruding bars engage with the cutouts to move the slider forwardly and compress the spring. The side panel is attached to the cage with the flange abutting against the rear panel. The protruding bars move the slider backward and the fastening portion abut against inner surfaces of the flange, with the operator released.

What is claimed is: 1. A computer enclosure comprising: a cage comprising a rear panel, a first flange extending from the rear panel; a side panel attached to the cage and comprising a second flange; and a fastening device attached to the side panel and comprising a holder, a slider movably attached to the holder, an operator rotatably attached to the holder, and a spring disposed between the holder and the slider, the holder comprising pairs of hooks movably holding the slider, the slider comprising a pair of cutouts and a fastening portion, and the operator comprising a pair of protruding bars; wherein the operator is rotated so that the protruding bars engage in the pair of cutouts to drive the slider forward wherein the spring is compressed and the fastening portion disengages from an inner surface of the first flange whereby the side panel is removed from the cage; and wherein the operator is released so that the spring rebounds and the slider is driven backward wherein the fastening portion engages the first flange together with the second flange abutting the rear panel whereby the side panel is secured to the cage. 2. The computer enclosure as described in claim 1, wherein the holder has a basin-shaped configuration and comprises a main body, and a brim, the main body comprises a base, a top wall, a bottom wall, and an end wall. 3. The computer enclosure as described in claim 2, wherein the main body comprises a plurality of wedges extending from outer surfaces of the top wall, the bottom wall, and the end wall, the brim comprises a plurality of posts and catches formed from an inner surface thereof. 4. The computer enclosure as described in claim 3, wherein the side panel comprises an opening for receiving the main body, and a plurality of rims formed from edges of the opening, for engaging with the wedges of the holder. 5. The computer enclosure as described in claim 3, wherein the side panel comprises a plurality of apertures and tabs disposed around the opening, for engaging with the post and the catches of the holder. 6. The computer enclosure as described in claim 2, wherein the holder defines a pair of first through holes in the top and bottom walls and a plurality of slots in the base. 7. The computer enclosure as described in claim 6, wherein a first bracket is disposed from the base adjacent to the brim and comprises a post disposed therein. 8. The computer enclosure as described in claim 7, wherein the slider further comprises a sliding portion with the pair of cutouts defined therein. 9. The computer enclosure as described in claim 8, wherein a second bracket is formed at outmost of the sliding portion, corresponding to the first bracket for holding a spring therebetween. 10. The computer enclosure as described in claim 8, wherein a resilient latch is formed in the sliding portion, for engaging in one of the slots of the holder. 11. The computer enclosure as described in claim 6, wherein the operator comprises a pair of blocks, a pair of second through holes is respectively defined in the blocks, corresponding to the first though holes of the holder for rotatably receiving a shaft therein, the protruding bars are formed in the fronts of the blocks. 12. A fastening device adapted to be attached to a side panel for securing the side panel to a computer cage, comprising: a holder adapted to be attached to the side panel, the holder comprising a main body, the main body comprising a base; a slider movably attached to the holder, the slider comprising a fastening portion and at least one cutout; and an operator rotatably disposed in the main body of the holder, the operator comprising at least one protruding bar; and a resilient member disposed between the holder and the slider; wherein when the operator is rotated outwardly, the resilient member is compressed, the protruding bar engages said at least one cutout to drive the slider move in a first direction such that the fastening portion disengages from the cage; and when the operator is released, the resilient member rebounds and decompresses to drive the slider in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the fastening portion engages with the cage, wherein the main body further comprising a top wall, and a bottom wall, a pair of first through holes defined in the top and bottom wall, a plurality of slots defined in the base, the operator comprising a pair of frames, a pair of second through holes defined in each of the frames, and a shaft rotatably received in the first and second through holes. 13. The computer enclosure as described in claim 12, wherein the slider comprises a sliding portion, a latch is formed in the sliding portion, a slot is correspondingly defined in the base. 14. The computer enclosure as described in claim 12, wherein a first bracket is disposed at the base of the holder, a second bracket is correspondingly formed on the slider, for cooperatively holding the resilient member. 15. A computer enclosure comprising: a first panel having a first flange extending perpendicularly therefrom; a second panel abutting against the first flange of the first panel; and a fastening device arranged at the second panel, the fastening device comprising a holder, a slider movably attached to an inner side of the holder, and an operator pivotably attached to an outer side of the holder, a resilient member connected between the slider and the holder, the slider having a pressing end to grasp the first flange of the first panel in the force of the resilient member; wherein the operator is rotated to drive the slider away from the first panel, so that the pressing end of the slider releases the first flange of the first panel and the resilient member is compressed, the second panel is thereby taken away from the first panel, the slider defining a cutout therein, a protrusion bar being formed on the operator and extending through the holder to be accommodated in the cutout. 16. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 15, wherein the second panel comprising a second flange extending perpendicularly therefrom, and abutting against an outside of the first panel. 17. The computer enclosure as recited in claim 15, wherein through holes are defined in the holder and the operator, a shaft extends through the through holes to rotatably connect the operator to the holder. 18. A fastening device for securing a detachable panel to a cage so as to form a computer enclosure, comprising: a holder formed at said detachable panel and comprising a basin-shaped main body, the main body comprising a base, a top wall, a bottom wall, and an end wall, the top wall, the bottom wall and the end wall extending from edges of the base together with the base cooperatively defining a receiving space; a slider movably attached to said holder located outside of the receiving space and confined by said holder to be resiliently movable along a predetermined direction between a first position to reach said cage for being secured thereon and a second position for releasing therefrom, said slider comprising at least one cutout defined therein; and an operator movably attached to said holder located in the receiving space and comprising at least one protruding bar extending through the base of the holder to engage with said at least one cutout to move said slider from said first position to said second position. 19.
