Abstract: A semi-mobile desktop personal computer incorporating the features of a desktop personal computer with the mobility of a mobile personal computer. The computer includes a system enclosure attached to a storage enclosure, the storage enclosure extends outside the system enclosure and provides stability for the system enclosure by engaging the surface on which the system enclosure has been placed for use.

Abstract: A desktop computer system is provided with a semi-mobile CPU unit having a portable computer form factor to thereby substantially reduce the desktop area required for the CPU unit. The CPU unit utilizes portable computer internal components, but is constructed without an internal battery pack or power conversion system, and without an integral display, keyboard or pointing device. A recessed support bar is exteriorly carried by an end wall of the CPU unit housing and may be pivoted outwardly therefrom to form a bracing base structure facilitating the repositioning of the CPU unit from a horizontal desktop orientation to a vertical tower orientation.

Abstract: A PC board cartridge for a computer terminal, the cartridge including a casing for holding a PC board with a connector mounted thereon. A handle is pivotally mounted on the casing along an axis extending in a plane that extends perpendicular to a major surface of the board and intersects the board at the connector. The PC board cartridge preserves electrical and mechanical connector integrity by providing a handle for removal which applies generally equal forces across the connector during removal. In addition, no additional hardware is required for assembly, installation, or removal of the cartridge.

Abstract: A pedestal assembly having two opposing and abutting parts, each including a base portion, a wall, both a locking extension and a locking recess, such that the two parts interlock to create a floor region for holding a computer enclosure.
