Abstract

An arcade computer system (1) with virtually all of the access ports provided proximate to the front face (2). Air flow paths (80, 82, 84) pull air from the rear of the computer and expell from the front of the computer. Plugs engaged with sockets at the front of the computer may be secured against vibration by a connector mount 75. Plug in cards can be secured against vibration by one or more card brackets (46, 48).
