ABSTRACT:
A computer including an acoustically shielded hard disk drive. Exhaust vents are provided in the computer housing above a convectively cooled power supply. The power supply and, if necessary, a plurality of fans mounted inboard from the intake vents, move the air throughout the computer. The resulting computer produces no more than 25 decibels of noise when in operation. A sound absorption layer surrounds the disk drive assembly. A heat sink mounted exterior to the sound absorption layer is connected by a heat conductive path to the disk drive assembly so as to conduct heat from the disk drive out to the exteriorly mounted heat sink. The disk drive may be immediately surrounded by a fluid containing pouch and a metal bracket.
