[0027] With the continuous development of computer technology, personal computers have gradually entered every household, becoming an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Personal computers have gradually transformed from customized machines from major brand manufacturers to DIY personal computers becoming the mainstream. Now, people's economic conditions allow them to upgrade their personal computers, and DIY enthusiasts, such as "hardware enthusiasts," have gradually emerged.

[0028] Most computer cases nowadays can mount water cooling radiators on their top panels, but for some motherboards with thicker heatsinks, mounting a radiator on the top panel can cause conflicts with the motherboard. Although some cases on the market now have adjustable motherboard mounting height, the PCI-E interfaces of these cases are not adapted in any way, affecting usability.

[0029] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment discloses a chassis compatible with multi-slot PCI-E interfaces, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the chassis includes a rack 100 and a rear panel 101 disposed on the rack 100. The chassis also includes a first fixing component 201, a second fixing component 202, a first mounting bracket 203 for mounting the motherboard, and a second mounting bracket 204 for fixing the PCI-E interface. The first mounting bracket 203 is slidably disposed on the rack 100, and the first fixing component 201 is used to fix the first mounting bracket 203 to the rack 100. The rear panel 101 has a mounting hole 102, and the mounting hole 102 is fitted with a fixing bracket 103 for fixing the PCI-E interface. The second mounting bracket 204 is located above the fixing bracket 103 and is slidably connected to the mounting hole 102 and the rear panel 101 respectively. The second fixing component 202 is used to fix the second mounting bracket 204 to the rear panel 101.

[0030] Specifically, this utility model discloses a chassis compatible with multi-slot PCI-E interfaces. It includes a first fixing component 201, a second fixing component 202, a first mounting bracket 203, and a second mounting bracket 204. In use, the first mounting bracket 203 and the second mounting bracket 204 can slide downwards along the chassis 100 or the mounting holes 102, increasing the distance between the motherboard and the top plate, thus avoiding conflict between the radiator mounted on the top plate and the motherboard. Simultaneously, the second mounting bracket 204 can adjust its position as the motherboard moves downwards, and the first fixing component 201 and the second fixing component 202 secure the first mounting bracket 203 and the second mounting bracket 204, achieving multi-compatibility between the motherboard position and the PCI-E interface position, thereby improving the chassis's applicability.

[0031] Furthermore, the chassis also includes an extension bracket 104 detachably connected to the mounting hole 102. In the initial state, the second mounting bracket 204 is installed between the second mounting bracket 204 and the fixed bracket 103. When the second mounting bracket 204 needs to be moved downward, the extension bracket 104 is removed from the mounting hole 102 to make way for the downward movement of the second mounting bracket 204; conversely, the extension bracket 104 is installed back into the mounting hole 102 to maintain the consistency of the mounting hole 102.

[0032] Specifically, the first fixing component 201 includes a plurality of first fasteners, the frame 100 is provided with a first slide rail 209, and the first mounting bracket 203 is provided with a first fixing hole 205 corresponding to each of the first fasteners; the second fixing component 202 includes a plurality of second fasteners, the frame 100 is provided with a second slide rail 210, and the second mounting bracket 204 is provided with a second fixing hole 207 corresponding to each of the second fasteners.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first fastener and the second fastener are preferably screws, and the first fixing hole 205 and the second fixing hole 207 are preferably screw holes. By tightening the first fastener and the second fastener respectively, the first mounting bracket 203 and the second mounting bracket 204 can be fixed and disassembled respectively.

[0034] Furthermore, the first slide rail 209 has a first limiting groove 206 connected to both ends, and the second slide rail 210 has a second limiting groove 208 connected to both ends. Figure 4 It can be seen that the width of the first limiting groove 206 is slightly smaller than the width of the first slide 209, and it can perform a locking action when the first fastener moves to the end of the first slide 209; the function of the second limiting groove 208 is similar to that of the first limiting groove 206, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
