Electronic apparatus
Not only cooling performance for an integrated circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU) but also cooling performance for a power supply unit is improved. An electronic apparatus includes a first heat sink and a power supply unit including a power supply unit case having an intake air wall in which a plurality of air intake holes are formed. The intake air wall is located in front of the first heat sink. The intake air wall has an external surface being inclined with respect to both a front-rear direction and a left-right direction and facing the first heat sink. A cooling fan is disposed to feed air toward the intake air wall.
