  • Computers with power exhaust systems
    Patent number: 6592448
    Abstract: Computers with power exhaust systems include a visually dominant top or side mounted power exhaust stack in fluid communication with an exhaust fan mounted proximate to the top or side mounted stack. The power exhaust fan pulls ambient air in from the lower portion of the computer and forces it out the top or a top portion of the housing into a power exhaust stack. The power exhaust stack is prominently positioned on the computer to provide a visual focal point reminiscent of an automotive “souped-up” operating machine which can forcibly cool the computer even when loaded with high-end graphics cards and fast microprocessors. The power exhaust stacks can be configured in a number of ways such as in an arcuate or linearly extending diesel truck-like chrome stack configuration, or in a header or laterally extending exhaust pipe(s) configuration.
