Abstract
A computer assembly is disclosed having a computer system having at least a central processing unit and memory located within a chassis, and a housing, wherein the computer system is located within and coupled to the housing The housing has first and second portions positioned substantially adjacent to one another and configured so as to define therebetween at least first and second substantially identical ports in at least first and second sides of the housing respectively. The assembly further includes a mounting member for mounting the computer assembly to a supporting structure, with the mounting member being capable of being removably coupled to the chassis through either of the first and second ports. The computer assembly may also include a locking assembly having a locked state in which the first and second housing portions cannot be separated from one another, and an unlocked state in which the first and second housing portions can be separated from one another.
