Description

ABSTRACT:
A power supply cover that snaps into place inside a computer or workstation electronic assembly, secured to the outer walls of the electronic assembly, covering and securing a power supply board in place. The power supply cover provides safety from dangerous power supply voltages. The power supply cover includes a baffled, external speaker pocket that houses a speaker for the computer or workstation electronic assembly. The power supply cover also houses an internal fan that securely snaps in under the power supply cover. The position of the fan and the power supply cover's perforated walls direct the correct amount of air flow over the power supply board, the system board and the disk drives to permit proper heat dissipation of electronics. The power supply cover also provides structural support for heavy equipment that may be stacked on the electronic assembly, such as a monitor.
