Abstract: A hard-disk drive tray assembly includes an adapter, a tray, and a bezel. The adapter and tray are designed with slots and protrusions such that the adapter can be secured to the tray without the use of tools, screws, or nuts. The bezel pivots horizontally about the tray and comprises at least one incorporated inserter/extractor lever thereby allowing a user to insert and extract the hard-disk drive tray assembly using just one hand. The bezel has a built-in handle which allows a user to securely grasp onto the hard-disk drive tray assembly during transportation from one location to another. Furthermore, the bezel comprises a translucent or transparent LED display window for providing an external means of visually monitoring the typical LED status indication light which is integral to the hard-disk drive without having to run additional wiring from the hard-disk drive to an externally mounted LED light.

Abstract: A computer pedestal for stably supporting a computer component in an upright orientation can be nestably engaged with other like pedestals to permit side-by-side stowage of a plurality of computer components. The pedestal has a flat parallelepiped-shaped base, and at least one stabilizer extends outwardly from the base to provide lateral support to the base. Also, a channel is formed in the base opposite the stabilizer. The stabilizer is configured to closely conform to the channel, so that the stabilizer can nestably mate with the channel of another like pedestal when the two pedestals are positioned side-by-side. The components that are supported by the nested pedestals can accordingly be closely and stably disposed side-by-side.
