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.

Abstract: An internal component and external interface arrangement for a cylindrical compact computing system is described that includes at least a structural heat sink having triangular shape disposed within a cylindrical volume defined by a cylindrical housing. A computing engine having a generally triangular shape is described having internal components that include a graphics processing unit (GPU) board, a central processing unit (CPU) board, an input/output (I/O) interface board, an interconnect board, and a power supply unit (PSU).
