Claim 12:
13. A desktop electronic device, comprising:
an enclosure defining an opening having a first diameter, the enclosure defining a shape extending along a longitudinal axis, the enclosure having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape including the longitudinal axis;
a speaker having a second diameter substantially the same as the first diameter, the speaker disposed in an internal volume defined by the enclosure, the speaker positioned directly adjacent to the opening and substantially occluding the opening, the speaker configured to move air in a direction towards the opening and produce an acoustic output;
a computing engine in communication with the speaker, the computing engine disposed in the internal volume, the computing engine comprising;
a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising an active surface oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis and perpendicular to the direction, the speaker aligned directly opposite and parallel to the PCB;
an electronic component disposed on the active surface and directly adjacent the speaker; and

a heat sink in thermal communication with the computing engine, the heat sink disposed within the internal volume of the enclosure, the heat sink including a major dimension extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the enclosure, the heat sink spanning more than halfway across a width of the PCB.
