  • Publication number: 20070195499
    Abstract: A computer housing assembly includes a computer housing, a cooling device, and a temperature control device. The cooling device is mounted on the computer housing, and includes a thermoelectric chip, a cooling fan, and a cover. The thermoelectric chip has a cold side disposed in the computer housing and provided with a finned structure. The cover is formed with outlet and inlet openings, and encases the thermoelectric chip, the finned structure, and the cooling fan. The cooling fan draws air from the computer housing through the inlet opening, and expels the air through the outlet opening back to the computer housing. The temperature control device controls operation of the thermoelectric chip to maintain temperature of the air in the computer housing above the dew point temperature.
