Claim:
1. An electronic device, comprising: a housing comprising a top case and a bottom case attachable to the top case, the top and bottom cases forming a cavity and being formed of a thermally conductive material to provide shielding for electromagnetic emissions, the cavity being divided by ribs into at least a first enclosed region and a second enclosed region; an operational component accommodated in the cavity of the housing within the first enclosed region and that produces heat during operation; and a thermally conductive member connecting the operational component to a portion of the housing associated with the second enclosed region such that the associated portion of the housing acts as a heat sink that provides a heat path that draws at least some excess of the heat away from the operational component and to the associated portion of the housing surrounding the second enclosed region.
