Abstract
A digital computer chassis has a front and rear wall with a strut fastened to both the front and rear walls, positioned to strengthen the chassis. A power supply and a hard disk drive are located within the chassis and connected to and supported by the strut. The power cable from the power supply is positioned within a channel formed in the strut, terminating in an on/off switch. The power cable is shielded from the electrical components within the chassis by the strut. With the surrounding cover in place, a monitor may be placed on the cover, supported by the strut.
