A storage compartment for storing a data storage disc and/or other items includes a side, and a post positionable relative to the side. With the positionable post, one may position the post to extend away from a bottom of the compartment to retain one or more discs in the storage compartment. Or one may recess the post to store other items, such as a camera and camera docking station, in the compartment. Thus, one can move the post out of the way when the compartment does not contain a storage disc, thus freeing up the compartment to better store other items.

Storage compartment with positionable post for holding a compact disc and related system and method

A housing for a computer system includes a conduit operable to protect a communication medium, such as a cable, that couples a peripheral device of the system to processing circuitry of the system. The conduit includes a bottom, a sidewall and a top that together define a passage in which the communication medium may be disposed. The passage includes a first opening and a second opening for allowing the communication medium disposed in the passage to extend through the passage. By disposing all or section of the communication medium in the passage, the conduit reduces the coupler's exposure between the interface of the processing circuitry and a peripheral device coupled to the interface, and thus protects the communication medium and the interface.
