Claim 14:
15. A computer system comprising:
a motherboard having a power connector for receiving a direct current (DC) power input, the motherboard further having circuitry to convey the DC power input to a processing unit and a memory, the motherboard further having a signal bus interconnecting the processing unit and the memory;
an enclosure having a rear panel, a front panel positioned opposite the rear panel, and a pair of opposed side panels positioned between the front panel and the rear panel;
a printed circuit board assembly within the enclosure and configured to rectify an AC mains power input to one or more voltage-regulated DC outputs suitable for powering the processing unit and the memory, wherein the printed circuit board assembly has a mains input positioned adjacent the rear panel of the enclosure and a DC output connector positioned adjacent a selected one of the side panels in the pair of side panels, the printed circuit board assembly further having a diode bridge configured to convert the mains power input from an alternating current to a direct current, the diode bridge being positioned adjacent the other one of the side panels in the pair of side panels; and
an electrical cable so electrically coupled with the DC output connector and the motherboard circuitry as to be configured to power the processing unit and the memory with the one or more voltage-regulated DC outputs;
an LLC-resonant circuit having an inductor and an array of half-bridge MOSFETs, wherein the inductor and the array of half-bridge MOSFETs are positioned adjacent to, but not between, the main transformer and the plurality of bulk capacitors;
a plurality of bulk capacitors coupled with the printed circuit board assembly adjacent each other; and
a main transformer coupled with the printed circuit board assembly at a position adjacent the plurality of bulk capacitors.
