Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that switches between frame buffers which are used to refresh a display. During operation, the system refreshes the display from a first frame buffer which is located in a first memory. Upon receiving a request to switch frame buffers for the display, the system reconfigures data transfers to the display so that the display is refreshed from a second frame buffer which is located in a second memory.

Abstract: A desktop computing system having at least a central core surrounded by housing having a shape that defines a volume in which the central core resides is described. The housing includes a first opening and a second opening axially displaced from the first opening. The first opening having a size and shape in accordance with an amount of airflow used as a heat transfer medium for cooling internal components, the second opening defined by a lip that engages a portion of the airflow in such a way that at least some of the heat transferred to the air flow from the internal components is passed to the housing.

Abstract: A stand-alone device, comprising:
an enclosure having a shape that is symmetric about a longitudinal axis, wherein
the enclosure includes:
a first opening, and
a second opening axially disposed opposite the first opening;

an air passage spanning an entire length of the enclosure;
a printed circuit board, PCB, positioned within the air passage such that the PCB is offset from and parallel to the longitudinal axis, the PCB having a surface on which is mounted a computational component; and
an air moving component, in communication with the computational component, provides an acoustic output by moving air in a controlled manner through the second opening of the enclosure.
