A computer system includes a chassis which is generally U-shaped in lateral cross-section and a cover which together define an internal cavity. A fan pack for cooling the computer system is removably disposed within the internal cavity. The fan pack includes three stacked pairs of individual fan units which are disposed in a row within a rectangular housing. The computer system also includes three power supplies for providing power for the computer system, each power supply being slidably disposed within associated power supply receiving channel formed in the chassis. Each power supply includes a housing, power supply electronics disposed within the housing, and a male electrical connector having both alternating and direct current connection capabilities. The male electrical connector is mounted on the housing in electrical connection with the power supply electronics and includes a frame, a pair of spaced apart alternating current (AC) connection pins disposed within the frame and a plurality of direct current (DC) connection pins disposed within the frame. The computer system further includes an indicator unit for displaying the operation state of the computer system. The indicator unit includes a hollowed housing mounted on the chassis and indicator unit electronics disposed within the housing. The indicator unit electronics include a printed circuit board having a top surface, a bottom surface and a line of weakness which enables for the printed circuit board to be divided into two separate pieces. The indicator unit electronics include an LED display mounted on the printed circuit board and a flexible connector having a first and second ends which are mounted on the printed circuit board on opposite sides of the line of weakness so as to electrically connect the printed circuit board upon separation through the line of weakness.
