Abstract: A casing for electronic, heat-emitting components, has a front provided with an ornamented bezel. Instead of a conventional ventilation grill in such front bezel, the bezel is bowed outwardly relative to the front edges of the sides of the casing. Ventilation is provided through the gaps between the back of the bezel and the front edges of the sides. The upper portion of the bezel may be formed with an opening to receive a media bezel having openings therein for removable disk drives, floppy disks and the like.

Abstract: A fan assembly with a single fan housing that has at least one fan passage adapted to allow air to flow through the housing. A separate fan subassembly is snapped into a motor housing formed within the passages of the fan housing. The subassembly includes an electric motor that rotates an impeller. The rotation of the impeller creates an airflow through the air passage. Attached to the surface of the housing is a conductor that extends from the motor, to an electrical connector that supplies power to the motor from an external power source. The air passage has rounded entrances and is formed such that the passage is shaped like a venturi tube. The rounded edges reduce the head loss through the passage by an order of magnitude, decreasing the pressure drop across the housing and improving the overall efficiency of the fan.

Abstract: The present invention is a deckside computer workstation housing which includes a frame assembly having at least one vertically oriented slot formed therein for insertion of a plug-in circuit board in a vertically oriented manner.

Abstract: A cable management apparatus for a computer workstation housing is disclosed. The cable management apparatus includes an outer surface having at least one hinge element and an associated snap element. The cable management apparatus also includes at least one rigid member having first and second ends, the first end being attachable to the snap element and the second end being attachable to the hinge element. The rigid member cooperates with the outer surface to form a space therebetween for securement of cables exiting the computer workstation housing.
