PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a desktop computer which is excellent in appearance and silence, and realizes efficient cooling. SOLUTION: A computer 100 is provided with an air intake 13 which penetrates a housing 10 from a side face 12. A plurality of air-sucking pores 14A and 14B for introducing external air are provided at the side surface 13A and top surface 13B of the air intake 13. A chassis 31 is provided, which divides the inside of the housing 10 into an upper space and a lower space, at the position of the air intake 13. A CPU 21 is arranged away from a heat sink 22, which radiates heat generated by the CPU 21, via the chassis 31, and they are thermally connected to each other via a heat pipe 23. Thus, sucking area is ensured without arranging the sucking pores, which introduce air for cooling, at the front or side panel of the housing 10 of the computer 100. Consequently, appearance and silence are improved, and efficient cooling is realized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a desktop computer which has improved appearance, facilitates installation and removal of a side cover and can be locked from the back of a housing. SOLUTION: A computer 100 is provided with an air intake 13 which penetrates a housing 10 from a side face 12. A plurality of air-sucking pores 14A and 14B for introducing external air are provided at the side surface and top surface of the air intake 13. The computer 100 is provided with an L-shaped side cover 12A which covers a lower part below the bottom surface of the air intake 13 on the side surface of the housing. The short side of the side cover 12A is arranged on the same plane as the bottom of the air intake 13, and an opening button 4 for opening the side cover 12A is provided on the shorter side. A hook, which links with the opening button 4, and a locking member, which links with the opening button 4, are provided on the longer side of the side cover 12A. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a larger heat radiating effect for the same power consumption and to respond also to local heat generation. SOLUTION: An electronic device such as CPU 16 or the like is mounted on one surface of a board 2 mounted in a case K. A chimney passage 20 extending vertically is formed between the board 2 and a side cover member 6 and the other surface side 2b of the board 2, which is nearly flat, forms the side wall of the chimney passage 20. Heat generated by the board 2 is radiated by the natural convection of air from the bottom to the top in the chimney passage 20. The inner space V in the case K partitioned from the chimney passage 20 by the board 2 is forcilbly air-cooled by an electric fan 31. A plurality of chimney passages may be formed and a liquid crystal display device 61 and the board 2 may constitute the wall of the chimney passage.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic device capable of increasing flexibility of device arrangement inside an apparatus for performing cooling efficiently, of facilitating turning on/off operation of a power switch in the apparatus, and of simplifying wiring. SOLUTION: In a personal computer 100, a device which generates a large quantity of heat and is hardly touched by a user, is arranged in a main unit 200, while a drive device for a removable storage medium, which generates a small quantity of heat and frequently accessed by the user, is arranged in an access unit 300. Since the power switches are arranged in both of the main unit 200 and the access unit 300, flexibility of device arrangement inside the personal computer 100 is increased for performing cooling efficiently, and the power of the personal computer 100 can be turned on/off easily.
