20110266229 | STACKABLE MODULAR PERSONAL COMPUTER ARRAY - One aspect of this disclosure is directed to a sub-rack module for supporting a personal computer chassis therein. The sub-rack module is configured to be received within a multi-position support rack. Due to the unique combination of the sub-rack and the multi-position support rack, the sub-rack modules can be positioned such that the back ends of the personal computer chassis form an air passageway in the center of the multi-position support rack, which allows for the air flow to be directed through the passageway and out through the front end of the personal computer chassis. This configuration allows for the high density storage of an array of personal computer chassis while providing adequate cooling for multiple units. A method for manufacturing this system is also provided. | 11-03-2011 |
20120044630 | VIDEO/AUDIO COMPUTER DISPLAY PROCESSOR - A video/audio computer display processor comprising a chassis, a video processor, a graphics card, and a ventilation duct. The chassis has first, second and third fans mounted therein and the video processor has a processor heatsink mounted thereon, wherein the processor heatsink has fins extending therefrom. The first fan is mounted on the processor heatsink and the second fan is positioned to direct an airflow parallel to and along the fins of the processor heatsink. The graphics card has a graphics card heatsink mounted thereon, and the graphics card heatsink has fins extending therefrom. The ventilation duct extends along a side of the chassis and has an opening therein adjacent the graphics card heatsink. The third fan is positioned to direct airflow through the ventilation duct, out through the opening and parallel to and along the fins of the graphics card heatsink. | 02-23-2012 |
