ABSTRACT:
A computer chassis with an affixed support assembly on one side, wherein the computer chassis is configurable between desktop and tower configurations. The chassis includes a first side which corresponds to the lower side of a desktop-type chassis and a second side which corresponds to the lower side of a tower-type chassis. The support assembly is attached to the second side and includes at least one selectively extendible support member. The support member is selectively extendible between a first, retracted position wherein it forms a relatively unobtrusive and aesthetic side surface and a second, extended position where it forms a broad supporting base for the chassis when placed on its second side in the manner of a tower platform. Methods and apparatus are also described by which a computer system can be converted between a desktop platform and a tower platform quickly and easily.
