Abstract

An all-in-one computer includes a monitor, a motherboard, a power supply, and a support mechanism supporting the monitor. The support mechanism includes a base, and a support stand fixed on the base and connected to the monitor. The support stand defines a cavity to receive the motherboard and the power supply. The motherboard and the power supply are electrically connected to the monitor.

Claims (29)

1. An all-in-one computer, comprising:

a monitor;

a motherboard;

a power supply; and

a support mechanism supporting the monitor, the support mechanism comprising:

a base;

a support stand fixed on the base and connected to the monitor, and the support stand defining a cavity to receive the motherboard and the power supply, wherein the motherboard and the power supply are electrically connected to the monitor;

a hard disk received in the cavity and electrically connected to the motherboard; and

a heat sink module received in the cavity, and the heat sink module comprising a heat sink positioned on the motherboard and a first fan mounted on the heat sink; wherein, the heat sink comprises a first dissipating portion positioned on a side of the hard disk, and a second dissipating portion is positioned between the motherboard and the hard disk and is connected to the first dissipating portion.

2. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , wherein the hard disk and the power supply are parallel to the motherboard and aligned side by side.

3. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , wherein the support stand defines a plurality of vents communicating with the cavity on a top surface thereof.

4. The all-in-one computer of claim 3 , wherein the first fan is located at an upper portion of the cavity.

5. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , further comprising a second fan adjacent to the first fan to provide airflow for the power supply.

6. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , further comprising a first peripheral interface module received in the cavity and electrically connected to the motherboard.

7. The all-in-one computer of claim 6 , wherein the support stand defines a through hole communicating with the cavity corresponding to the first peripheral interface module.

8. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , further comprising an optical disc driver located inside the monitor, and electrically connected to the motherboard.

9. The all-in-one computer of claim 8 , wherein the monitor defines an opening corresponding to the optical disc driver.

10. The all-in-one computer of claim 9 , wherein the optical disc driver is a slot-in type optical disc driver.

11. The all-in-one computer of claim 1 , further comprising a hinge assembly coupled between the monitor and the support mechanism.

12. A computer, comprising:

a support mechanism supporting a monitor, the support mechanism comprising:

a base; and

a support stand fixed on the base and connected to the monitor, and the support stand defining a cavity to receive a motherboard and a power supply, wherein the motherboard and the power supply are electrically connected to the monitor;

a hard disk received in the cavity and electrically connected to the motherboard; and

a heat sink module received in the cavity, and the heat sink module comprising a heat sink positioned on the motherboard; wherein, the heat sink comprises a first dissipating portion positioned on a side of the hard disk, and a second dissipating portion is positioned between the motherboard and the hard disk and is connected to the first dissipating portion.

13. The computer of claim 12 , wherein the hard disk and the power supply are parallel to the motherboard and aligned side by side.

14. The computer of claim 12 , wherein the heat sink module comprises a first fan mounting on the heat sink.

15. The computer of claim 14 , wherein the support stand defines a plurality of vents communicating with the cavity on a top surface thereof.

16. The computer of claim 15 , wherein the first fan is located at an upper portion of the cavity.
