ABSTRACT:
A media centre computing device includes a housing, and a mains-powered personal computer motherboard including a main processor with a heatsink disposed at or near to one edge of the motherboard and connectors disposed at an adjacent edge of the motherboard, the motherboard being secured in the housing with the connectors contacting the rear face of the housing and the main processor being disposed adjacent a first side face of the housing and in the proximity of a first vent formed therein. The device also includes a power supply secured to the housing and proximate to rear and second side faces of the housing, and a fixed mass-storage device and a removable memory media drive located one above the other in the volume between the power supply and the front face of the housing. Media being transportable to and from the removable memory media drive though an aperture in the front face of the housing. This allows a computer with a PC motherboard and other main components to be accommodated in a small housing and be easily usable with a television set.
