Abstract

A sound muffling and heat-discharging case for a computer storage apparatus includes a casing having an opened upper portion and receiving the storage apparatus therein, a cover having a severed side portion partially exposing the peripheral parts of the storage apparatus and serving as a heat discharging portion and covering an upper portion of the casing, and noise-absorbing member being provided along an inner periphery of each of the casing and the cover and absorbing a noise from the storage apparatus. The sound muffling and heat-discharging case effectively decreases noise and heat occurring from a hard disk drive while simplifying the case structure of and thereby facilitating its fabrication.
