ABSTRACT:
A computer system uses a large heat sink to provide noiseless cooling, thereby avoiding the need for a conventional cooling fan that can be very noisy. The heat sink forms a part of a chassis that contains the motherboard and hard drive of the computer. The motherboard and hard drive are mounted in the chassis to provide thermal conduction from the microprocessor on the motherboard and from the hard drive to the heat sink, which dissipates the heat in the ambient air. Enhanced EMI shielding is provided by placing a shroud with vented top and bottom over the chassis containing the motherboard and the hard drive.
