System and method for housing power supplies for an electronic device
A housing for an electronic device has a first volume bounded by a first face and a second volume bounded by a second face. The second face is indented from the first face. A plurality of electronic components are housed in the first volume, and one or more power supplies are housed in the second volume. The electronic components are operable to be powered by a coupling to the one or more power supplies, the coupling running between the indented second face and the first face.
