Abstract

A stand with integrated peripherals for an integrated display computer. The peripherals are enclosed in a stand housing unit. Only the portion of the peripheral or peripheral interface with which a user interacts is accessible through the stand housing unit. The remaining components are hidden within the housing unit. Various types of peripherals such a CD-ROM or DVD drive may be installed in the base of the stand. Other types of peripherals such as a printer may be installed in the tower of the stand. The base and tower may be combined to form a complete stand. Power cords and cables may extend through the back or bottom of the stand and are protected by the stand base. The complete stand, which can accommodate an integrated display computer, gives each integrated display computer a similar, finished appearance regardless of which peripherals, if any, are enclosed in the stand.
