Abstract:
1. A computer case comprising: outer panels forming an internal space sized and shaped to accommodate at least a mother board, a plug-in card and a hard drive; an inner panel arranged in the internal space and which physically forms a separate lower section of the internal space from an upper section of the internal space, wherein the upper section is arranged above the lower section of the internal space such that the upper section of the internal space accommodates the motherboard and the plug-in card and the lower section of the internal space accommodates the hard drive; a first fan that produces an air flow in the upper section of the internal space; and a second fan that produces an air flow in the lower section of the internal space, wherein the second fan cools the hard drive and separately dissipates waste heat of the hard drive in the lower section independent of the first fan without having to thermally load other components located in the upper section of the internal space.
