Computer cover

Abstract

A cover for an electronic component has a frame with a wall disposed thereon so that the frame causes the wall to be substantially rigid. A first end-panel is substantially permanently or removably attached to the wall. A second end-panel can be one of removably attached to the wall opposite the first end-panel, substantially permanently attached to the wall opposite the first end-panel, or selectively removably attachable to the wall opposite the first end-panel to cover a front of the cabinet, when the electronic component is not being actively used by a user. The cover may extend to cover cables extending from the cabinet.

       8 . The cover of  claim 1 , and further comprising indicia disposed on a surface of the cover.  
   
   
       9 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is open at a base of the frame.  
   
   
       10 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the wall is removably connected to the frame.  
   
   
       11 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first end-panel includes openings for accessing the electronic component.  
   
   
       12 . A cover for an electronic component, the cover comprising: 
 a frame;    a wall disposed on the frame so that the frame holds the wall taut;    a first end-panel that is one of substantially permanently or removably attached to the wall; and    a second end-panel that is one of removably attached to the wall opposite the first end-panel; substantially permanently attached-to the wall opposite the first end-panel, or selectively removably attachable to the wall opposite the first end-panel to close the cover, when the electronic component is not being actively used by a user;    wherein the cover extends to cover cables extending from the electronic component.    
   
   
       13 . The cover of  claim 12 , wherein the wall and first and second end-panels are at least one of a pliant and a porous material.  
   
   
       14 . The cover of  claim 12 , wherein the second end-panel includes openings for accessing the electronic component.  
   
   
       15 . A cover for an electronic component, the cover comprising: 
 a frame having a plurality of removably interconnected rods;    a wall removably connected to the frame, wherein the frame causes the wall to be substantially rigid;    a first end-panel that is removably attached to the wall; and    a second end-panel that is one of removably attached to the wall opposite the first end-panel, substantially permanently attached to the wall opposite the first end-panel, or selectively removably attachable to the wall opposite the first end-panel to close the cover, when the electronic component is not being actively used by a user;    wherein the cover extends to cover cables extending from the electronic component.    
   
   
       16 . The cover of  claim 15 , wherein the wall comprises a top panel connected between opposing side panels.  
   
   
       17 . The cover of  claim 16 , wherein the cover is open opposite the top panel.  
   
   
       18 . The cover of  claim 15 , wherein the wall and first and second end-panels are at least one of a porous and pliant material.  
   
   
       19 . The cover of  claim 15 , wherein the second end-panel includes openings for accessing the electronic component.  
   
   
       20 . A method for covering an electronic component, the method comprising: 
 disposing a wall on a frame so that the wall is substantially rigid;    locating the electronic component within the frame with the wall disposed thereon so that the electronic component and cables extending from the electronic component are covered by the wall; and    attaching a first end-panel to the wall.    
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein attaching the first end-panel to the wall comprises removably attaching the first end-panel to the wall.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 20 , and further comprising attaching a second end-panel to the wall opposite the first end-panel.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein attaching the second end-panel to the wall comprises removably attaching the second end-panel to cover a portion of the electronic component when the electronic component is not being actively used by a user.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein removably attaching the second end-panel to cover the portion of the electronic component comprises stretching the second end-panel taut.  
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 20 , and further comprising forming the frame by removably interconnecting rods of the frame.
