Abstract: An electronic component housing system includes a cabinet having a front portion and a rear portion; a sliding mechanism mounted within the cabinet; and first and second electronic devices mounted to the sliding mechanism, the first and second electronic devices each having a front end and a back end. The sliding mechanism, in a first mode, enables the first and second electronic devices mounted thereto to be positioned within the cabinet between the front portion and the rear portion thereof, such that the front end of the first electronic device is disposed proximate the front portion of the cabinet and the back end of the second electronic device is disposed proximate the rear portion of the cabinet. The sliding mechanism, in a second mode, enables the first electronic device to be positioned beyond the front portion of the cabinet and the second electronic device to be positioned in a location substantially similar to the position occupied by the first electronic device in the first mode.
