1. A chassis, comprising:

  • a base having a bottom wall, a first base side wall and a second base side wall opposite the first base side wall;

    a lid having a top wall, a first lid side wall and a second lid side wall, wherein the lid is supported by the first and second opposing base side walls with the first lid side wall slidably engaging an outer surface of the first opposing base side wall and the second lid side wall slidably engaging an outer surface of the second base side wall;

    an air baffle disposed within the base;

    a mechanical latch attached to an inside surface of the top wall of the lid, wherein the mechanical latch is spring biased in a direction away from the base, wherein the mechanical latch includes a latch arm for selectively locking the lid to the base and a latch hook for selectively locking the air baffle to the lid, wherein depressing the mechanical latch releases the lid from the base and wherein physically separating the lid from the base causes the latch hook to secure the air baffle such that the air baffle is removed from the base along with the lid.
