Abstract:
Apparatus comprising:a modular personal computer including a housing and at least a storage device and a central processing unit inside said housing; said computer having an inlet opening and an outlet opening for a cooling air flow which are disposed on the same side portion of said housing with a space therebetween so as to sandwich said central processing unit; a connection device separate from and couplable with said computer and having a cooling device which cools said side portion of said modular personal computer; and a differential pressure generator which reduces static pressure near said outlet opening in relation to relative disposition between said modular personal computer and said connection device, wherein the cooling air flow is introduced into said modular personal computer from said inlet opening by reducing the static pressure near said outlet opening to thereby draw out air inside said modular personal computer so as to create negative pressure inside said modular personal computer.
