A housing for a central processing unit including a body capable of supporting and enclosing the central processing unit. The body has a front side including an upper portion and a lower portion. A first decorative faceplate is for detachably engaging with at least a portion of the upper portion of the front side of the body. A first-faceplate-quick-connect-device extends from the first decorative faceplate for readily attaching and removing the first decorative faceplate to the body. Also described herein is a housing for a central processing unit including a body capable of supporting and enclosing the central processing unit. The body has a front side including an upper portion and a lower portion. A first decorative faceplate is detachably engagable with at least a portion of the upper portion of the front side of the body. A second decorative faceplate is for detachably engaging with at least a portion of the lower portion of the front side of the body. A second-faceplate-quick-connect-device is disposed on the body for readily attaching and removing the second decorative faceplate to the body. Also described herein is a single decorative faceplate having a quick connect device for readily securing and removing to a computer housing.

An articulating computer monitor apparatus has a base with a vertical stand and a support block which is infinitely adjustable over a range of vertical positions. A pair of cantilevered arms are pivotally attached to a support block attached to the upright stand. The cantilevered arms have an attachment end which are located close together which avoids creating a large gap between dual monitors mounted on the arms. The arms have an offset support section with pivotable clutch-hinges which are attached to flat panel monitors. The apparatus provides dual monitors which may be raised and lowered, pivoted toward each other or away and tilted backward and forward so that the user has the ability to move the monitors in three directions to create glare-free efficient viewing. Two of the assemblies can be used on a desktop to create a 'stadium' effect.
