Abstract: A passively cooled computer includes two or more components arranged in a housing frame 41, wherein each of these components is associated with a cooling body for dissipating waste heat of the component when the component is in operation. The cooling bodies each include a cooling surface, and these cooling surfaces are arranged to oppose one another with their cooling surfaces and thereby define an air channel leading vertically through the inside of the housing frame. The cooling bodies substantially separate the air channel from the remaining volume inside the housing frame.

Abstract: A computer housing (41) for free-standing use includes a computer (10) with slots for the insertion of extension cards, and further at least one card carrier (20) for carrying extension cards (51). The card carrier (20) includes a carrier connector (47) whereby the card carrier (20) is connectable, by inserting the card carrier (20) in the computer housing (41), via the carrier connector (47), with a communication connector (49) of the computer (10), at least one adapter connector (48) into which an extension card (51) is pluggable, and wherein the card carrier (20) includes a communication connection between the carrier connector (47) and the at least one adapter connector (48).
