An anti-tip device for a computer tower chassis. The anti-tip device includes a hub and a base foot that is mounted to the bottom surface of a tower chassis. The hub is fitted into an interior cavity of the base foot and provides the base foot with a foundation around which the base foot rotates. The hub itself is mounted to the tower chassis through a set of pins that ensure that the hub is kept stationary. The base foot includes an elongated foot and cavity for housing the hub. The interior circumference of the cavity includes a number of detents that define positions of the base foot. The hub includes a spring mechanism including a knob that is fitted to snap into a detent. As the base foot is rotated, the rotational force decompresses the spring so that it rides on the outer surface of the interior circumference of the base foot. When the spring mechanism encounters a detent, the spring mechanism compresses and forces the knob to snap into the detent thereby securely placing the base foot into the desired position.
