ABSTRACT:
A computer system has a data processing unit, an audio speaker assembly apparatus, and at least one computer component mounting structure. The audio speaker assembly apparatus includes one or more speakers and one or more mounting mechanisms for electrically and mechanically connecting each speaker to the computer component mounting structure. Each speaker may be selectively and detachably connected to the computer component mounting structure so both an electrical connection of a speaker to the mounting structure and a physical support of the same speaker to the mounting structure can be readily established or removed. The computer component mounting structure may be, for example, as LCD housing or another type of display housing, or it may be a stationary mounting structure such as a docking station for docking portable notebook computers. The mounting mechanisms may comprise universal connectors for allowing any speaker to be mounted at any speaker mounting location on the computer component mounting structure. In addition, the mounting mechanisms may be provided with structure to allow the positioning and orientation of the speakers to be varied. The mounting mechanism allows the speakers to be snap mounted to a computer component mounting structure.
