Abstract

The present invention provided a tower computer including a housing and a readily accessible motherboard, a modular optical drive, a modular power supply assembly and a modular hard drive assembly mounted in the housing. Also a method of making a computer comprising mounting a motherboard inside a first bay portion of a computer housing in a position accessible through a lateral side wall opening; mounting a modular optical drive in the first bay portion; mounting a modular power supply in a second bay portion; and mounting a modular hard drive assembly in a third bay portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computers and, more particularly, to a computer in a tower configuration having a plurality of modular components. Background technique [0002] Since the introduction of the personal computer about two decades ago, the chassis or "cassette" that houses basic computer components such as the motherboard, power supply, and various drives has continued to shrink. One reason for this is that computer peripherals have become increasingly available and affordable, thus competing with computers for desktop space. For example, it is not uncommon for a modern computer user to have a computer, mouse, keyboard, 21-inch monitor, personal printer, and scanner on his desktop, whereas twenty years ago a typical desktop Nothing but a typewriter or calculator. [0003] A common technique used by designers today to reduce the desktop footprint of a computer is to use a vertical configuration. A standard computer case has a relatively ...
