Claim 15:
16. A desktop electronic device, comprising:
an enclosure extending along a longitudinal axis, the enclosure defining an opening, and the enclosure including a support base perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the enclosure defines a rectangular cross sectional area along the longitudinal axis;
an input port disposed along a sidewall of the enclosure, the sidewall being perpendicular to the support base;
an air-moving component disposed in an internal volume defined by the enclosure, the air-moving component configured to move air in a direction towards the opening and produce an acoustic output;
a computing engine in communication with the air-moving component, 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; and
an electronic component disposed on the active surface and directly adjacent to the air-moving component; and

a heat sink in thermal communication with the computing engine, the heat sink disposed within the internal volume of the enclosure and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the enclosure.
