Patent ID: 7617596

Claim:
A method comprising: manipulating a material to form a bottom component of a server housing, wherein the bottom component has a first edge and a least a second edge and wherein the first and second edges lie in a plane; and, manipulating at least a region of the bottom component to cause a portion wherein the portion comprises a central portion, of the bottom component to be upwardly deflected away from the plane such that positioning electrical components on the bottom component will cause the portion to deflect downwardly toward the plane, wherein the manipulating a material comprises forming a first sidewall that collectively defines the first edge with an intersecting first portion of the bottom component and forming a second sidewall that collectively defines the second edge with an intersecting second portion of the bottom component; wherein the acts of manipulating cause the first sidewall and the first portion and the second sidewall and the second portion to define acute angles therebetween.
