Abstract
A computer chassis is provided. The computer chassis includes a housing having a first closed compartment with a first heat sink having a first heat dissipating surface formed on one side of the first closed compartment; and a second closed compartment having a second heat sink with a second heat dissipating surface formed on one side of the second closed compartment. The first and second compartments are substantially isolated from air flow within the housing. The housing, the first closed compartment and the second closed compartment are configured to define an air passage way between the housing, the first heat dissipating surface and the second heat dissipating surface. This air passage way forms a chimney effect that aids in cooling and promotes natural air convection.
