Quick release couplings for releasably coupling components to the computer are disclosed. The quick release coupling mechanisms are generally configured to allow tool-less placement of the components relative to the computer. That is, the quick release coupling mechanisms are configured to perform their couplings without using conventional fasteners such as screws, bolts, etc. By eliminating use of fasteners, the components may be inserted and removed from the computer without using tools (e.g., tool-less). Furthermore, the quick release couplings are easy to maneuver thereby enabling quick and straightforward assembly and disassembly of the components to and from the computer (e.g., quick release). For example, the components may be inserted and removed by a simple pushing or pulling motion, and/or by a simple flick of a latch or handle. 1. A computer , comprising:a housing having an interior portion sized and shaped to house a memory drive therein;a receiving bracket positioned on a surface within the interior portion, the receiving bracket configured to receive and engage with a standoff positioned on and protruding from the memory drive; anda latch positioned adjacent to the receiving bracket, the latch configured to tool-lessly secure the standoff within the receiving bracket when in a locked position to couple the memory drive to the interior portion of the housing, the latch rotatably coupled to the interior portion about an axis between a receiving position and the locked position, wherein when in a locked position the standoff is captured within a space formed by the latch and the receiving bracket.2. The computer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the receiving bracket comprises a groove configured to engage with a flange portion of the standoff.3. The computer as recited in claim 2 , wherein the flange is configured to be captured within the groove in the locked position.4. The computer as recited in claim 2 , wherein the receiving bracket further comprises ...
