Abstract
A POS platform includes a substantially closed housing adapted to be seated on top of an associated cash drawer, with a first opening that is sized to receive the PC. The housing also has at least one second opening for permitting passage of cables between the PC and the peripherals. A top support is provided that has an upper surface with discrete areas for supporting the peripherals and at least one hole therein to permit passage of the cables between the peripherals and the PC. A hinge is provided for connecting the top support to the housing to permit the top support to pivot with respect to the housing, thus facilitating access to the PC and the cables connecting the PC and the peripherals.
