Abstract

The present invention provides a canvass accessory device or “PC Saddlebag” that fits over the top of the computer tower and drapes down both sides of the tower. Both sides of the saddlebag have an inner and an outer side panels with pocket assemblies forming storage compartments for retaining a number of CDs in each assembly. The inner panels are integral with a top panel placed over the computer tower. The outer panels are integral with the bottom edge of the inner panels and fold upward to fasten at the top panel with fasteners in a closed configuration or vertical storage position. In the vertical storage position the outer panels can have exterior satchels and pouches accessible for document and disk storage. In an open configuration, the outer panels are released and rotated to expose the pocket assemblies on the inside surfaces of the outer panels and the outside surfaces of the inner panels where compact disks and computer software documents are organized and stored for easy retrieval and use. A carrying handle is attached to the top panel for removing the saddlebag from the computer tower and transporting it to another location in support of another computer.
