Abstract
A housing device is described that protects hardware and software useful in connecting a personal computer (PC) to a network. The housing device is versatile so as to allow for a plurality of configuration and installation combinations. This versatility allows an installer to mount the housing device either horizontally or vertically. When mounted horizontally, the installer has yet another option to prop the housing device upright via use of an easel on the back or allow it to lie flat with the easel folded under a main body component. Serrated edges are provided on the easel so as to allow for tension to be placed on the wires or cables coupled to the housing device so that the wires or cables do not become disconnected from the housing device.
