Abstract

A computer system is provided having a door which hinges about an axis. The door provides a cover for the computer ports, which also seals the ports from the environment. The door has a plurality of detents which allows the door to adjustably elevate the computer system. Alternatively, the door can be stowed under the computer system, where it does not interfere with other cables or cords proximately located.
