ABSTRACT:
A computer is formed from modular parts that are vertically stacked relative to one another so that even a casual observer may become aware of all of the components of the observed computer system. Each part has a predetermined geometrical configuration and will interlock only with other parts of the same geometrical configuration. In this way, manufacturers of computer components may make parts that are compatible with one another in a common geometrical configuration so that a consumer buying a component need only match shapes to ensure compatibility. An added advantage of the structure is that it enables computer owners to visually display their computer components to their friends and associates, in contrast to present computer housings that hide components and make highly advanced computers look much like their outdated predecessors. A bus interconnects all components and a cooling shaft delivers cooling air to all components.
