Ruggedized computer capable of operating in high temperature environments

A computer comprising:

• a housing including a plurality of walls that form a substantially sealed interior cavity from an exterior environment, the plurality of walls including a first wall and a second wall;
• a plurality of computer components within the interior cavity;
• at least one block thermally coupled to at least one computer component and physically coupled to the first wall of the housing to transfer thermal energy from the at least one computer component and the at least one block into the first wall and the exterior environment, wherein the at least one computer component is physically coupled to the first wall at least in part by the at least one block;
• at least one heat sink for dissipating thermal energy into the exterior environment, the at least one heat sink located on the second wall of the housing;
• and
• at least one pipe thermally coupled to the at least one block and the at least one heat sink to transfer thermal energy from the at least one block and the at least one computer component into the at least one heat sink and the exterior environment.
