Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer device, allowing different direct current output power sources from the computer power supplies to be connected to a computer panel, housing or hard disk rack so as to provide or make use of power for external computer peripherals.

Claims

1. A computer direct current power output device, comprising a front surface provided with an output circuit board with various power output ends, the said output circuit board electronically connected to a connecting end of a computer power supply output through a connecting end, thereby allowing the said various output ends on the said output circuit board to provide different direct current powers, and affixing the said output circuit board on an appropriate place on a computer motherboard or a housing for the user to connect the said output end of the said output circuit board and charge or make use of direct current for computer related peripherals,

wherein said output end on the said output circuit board is a cigarette ignition output end and at least one output end selected from the group consisting of USB output end, SATA output end, 4P output end, and output end with a plurality of different current values.

2. The computer direct current power output device of claim 1, wherein the said output circuit board with various output ends provided thereon can be affixed on a 5.25 inch hard disk rack, a front edge of a 5.25 inch covering board or a 3.5 inch covering board so as to be affixed on the said 5.25 inch hard disk rack or 3.5 inch hard disk rack of the said computer mother board.
