Abstract:
1. A data processing system, comprising: a chassis; a planar within the chassis; a microprocessor connected to the planar; and an air purifier connected to the planar proximal to the microprocessor, wherein the air purifier produces purified air that is exhausted exterior to the chassis to improve the air quality in the user environment surrounding the chassis; wherein the air purifier includes a high voltage unit to create an electrical discharge within the air purifier; wherein the high voltage unit produces a voltage greater than or equal to approximately 8000 at an output point of the high voltage unit; wherein the air purifier includes a grounded and electrically conductive grid in the vicinity of the high voltage unit output point; and wherein the air purifier produces an air flow in proximity to the microprocessor wherein the purified air exhausted to the exterior facilitates dissipation of heat generated by the microprocessor.
