Abstract

Apparatus 10 for a computer system comprising a plurality of interconnecting modules 16, 18, 20 with each module in the series having computer components encased therein, and external linking and connector elements extending therefrom forming a functioning computer. Each module contains one or more hardware components such as processor 60, DVD 62, video card 54, memory 58, power supply 55, motherboard 46, etc. that provides the user with means for determining and assembling a computer system comprised of user selectable and swappable component modules that plug into each other. The modules are typically of a thin rectangular form and have a structure formed of either a metallic chassis 12 or a plurality of interconnecting panels with knock out portions 40 to allow for connection there through to the computer component's connection ports. The modules connect to one another via a plurality of spring mounted clips 74 on the top that snap into apertures in the bottom of the mating module so that this maintains the module's physical connection to one another having push buttons on the sides of each module for the selective release when so desired. Also, a plurality of jumper elements 84 are used to transmit data or power therethrough and between the modules to where it is needed.
