ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a media console which includes a base member and a drive housing that can be moved within the base member between an open position and a closed position. A spring is connected to a bottom of the base member and to the drive housing for biasing the drive housing in the open position. A pair of gear tracks are integrally formed in opposite sides of the base member for cooperating with a pair of geared dampers attached to opposite ends of the drive housing. The drive housing includes a direct access storage device disposed at a front end thereof and the direct access storage device has an opening for receiving a removable storage medium. The spring, gear tracks and geared dampers cooperate with each other (1) to allow the drive housing to move smoothly from the closed position to the open position wherein a user may access the opening, and (2) to allow the drive housing to move smoothly from the open position to the closed position.
