Rackmount for computer and mass storage enclosure

A rack for encapsulating a standard desk-top mounted, air-cooled electronic computer for juxtaposed mating with computer accessories in an EIA-configuration comprising:

• a) a base plate defined by spaced-apart side walls and spaced-apart front and rear walls, said walls extending upward therefrom to a common contiguous upper edge enclosed by a top plate to create an EIA-sized enclosure;
• b) a support plate bounded by said walls and located intermediate said base plate and said top plate to divide said enclosure into a lower bay and a separate upper bay, said upper bay of a size and shape to encapsulate the computer therein and said lower bay of a size to receive a power supply and other accessories for interfacing with the computer;
• c) ram air cooling means located in said lower bay for providing a first stream of cooling air for cooling the accessories and power supply in said lower bay and then for passing upward, inside said rack, into said upper bay to provide additional cooling for the computer encapsulated therein in addition to the cooling that is being done by its own internal cooling system;
• d) rails mounted on said side walls for supporting said rack;
• and,
• e) handles mounted on said side walls for lifting said rack.
