Abstract

A host unit case with upper and lower covers for a computer includes an upper cover and a lower cover and each of the covers is composed of two plate members pivotally connecting with each other. A first wall and a second wall each have the upper and lower ends thereof pivotally connecting with one of the plate members available for all parts being folded easily to reduce volume of the packaged host unit case. When the packaged host unit case is unfolded, the upper and lower ends of the first wall are joined to the first ends of the upper and lower covers respectively and the upper and lower ends of the second wall are joined to the second ends of the upper and lower covers respectively such that the host unit case is set up completely conveniently and quickly.
