Information handling system reflective outer housing
An information handling system housing vents air at a grid of openings formed in a wall with a member extending outward from each intersection of the grid to define air channels. Each member terminates with a polished planar surface that reflects light against a flat underlying material. Variable angles of the polished planar surface relative to the plane of the wall creates a presentation of isolated reflections against the flat background that vary based upon a viewing angle of the housing wall.
1. A method for manufacture of an information handling system, the method comprising:
forming a grid of plural openings in a wall to vent air through the wall;
extending material out from one side of the wall at plural intersections of the grid; and
terminating at least some of the extending material at a planar surface having a reflective finish, the planar surface of each extending material having a variable offset angle of not greater than a predetermined amount from parallel alignment to the wall;
wherein the extending material and wall have a flat finish, different than the extending material planar surfaces reflecting finish.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
defining a channel from each of the plural openings through the wall with the extending material; and
directing air from at least some of the channels at an angle offset from perpendicular to the wall.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the terminating at least some of the extending material further comprises randomly setting the variable angle.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising forming the extending material plane as a circle.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising forming the extending material plane as a hexagon.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the wall comprises a bezel configured to couple to an information handling system housing.
7. A vent comprising:
a wall having plural openings to pass air, the openings defining plural intersections; and
a member extending upward from each of the plural intersections;
wherein the wall and members have a flat finish except that each member terminates distal the wall with a polished planar surface, each polished planar surface having a variable offset angle of not greater than a predetermined amount from parallel alignment to the wall.
8. The vent of claim 7 wherein the plural openings comprise hexagons and the polished planar surface has a circular shape.
9. The vent of claim 7 wherein the plural openings comprise circles and the polished planar surface has a square shape.
10. The vent of claim 7 further comprising a channel formed from each opening to each the planar surface, the member extending upward off an axis perpendicular to the wall.
11. The vent of claim 7 wherein the variable offset angle of the planar surface is randomly set.
