Patent ID: 8264167

Claim:
A computer system, comprising: a processor configured to generate light control signals; a light feature operatively coupled to the processor, the light feature comprising: a first light source capable of emitting light on an inner surface of an illuminable housing of the computer system in order to illuminate the illuminable housing by producing light for transmission through a light passing wall of the illuminable housing, wherein the housing is configured to enclose functional components of the computer system; and a light driver disposed between the processor and the first light source, the light driver being configured to convert the light control signals into a stable continuous current for driving the light source, the magnitude of the current being based at least in part on the light control signal, the magnitude of the current being proportional to a light intensity of the light source; and a second light source for illuminating a display of the computer system, wherein the second light source is separate from the first light source.
