ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus includes a housing having a front side and a bottom side adjacent the front side. The apparatus also includes a plurality of light generating devices each operable to generate light in response to operation of a particular component of the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a plurality of light pipes each associated with a respective ones of the light generating devices and operable to display light generated by the respective light generating device such that the light is visible on the front side and on the bottom side of the housing.According to another embodiment, an apparatus includes a housing having at least one heat sink disposed therein and overlying a component of the apparatus. The apparatus also includes at least one heat sink having a base and a plurality of fins extending from the base. The apparatus also includes an elastic clip having a middle portion placing an elastic force on the base in order to couple the heat sink to the component and two end portions securing the clip in place.
