Abstract
The present invention is directed to provide a housing for computing insert apparatus mounted on the wall or floor embedded inside a LAN jack or a main power outlet. A connector in the housing preferably provides the inserted computing apparatus with both data and electrical power. The housing is made of thermally conductive material to assist the dissipation of heat produced by the inserted apparatus. A locking mechanism allows easy insertion of a computing insert but prevents removal of the insert without a special tool. This common housing enables easy installation of the computing apparatus module and plurality of other compatible devices that may be plugged into that same housing.
