1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a housing comprising a sidewall portion and a bottom wall, portion adjacent to the side wall portion, the sidewall portion comprising an air vent, the bottom wall portion comprising a plurality of liquid discharge holes disposed in the direction from the sidewall portion toward an inner portion of the housing, the liquid discharge holes for discharging liquid that enters the housing through the air vent, a direct liquid path existing between the air vent and the liquid discharge holes,a circuit board in the housing;
a heat-generating component on the circuit board, the heat-generating component being displaced from the direct liquid path;
a heat-transfer member having a first end thermally connected to the heat-generating component;
a heat-radiating member thermally connected to a second end of the heat-transfer member and horizontally displaced from the heat-generating component; and
a cooling fan for cooling the heat-radiating member,wherein at least a portion of the liquid discharge holes are located directly below at least a portion of the heat-radiating member, and wherein the liquid discharge holes are between the air vent and the cooling fan.
