Abstract
A method and apparatus for removing heat from an acoustically shielded electro-mechanical assembly without relying upon a convective air flow and without the provision of bulky external heat sinks provides an acoustically shielded electro-mechanical assembly, such as a hard disk drive, that may be used in a personal computer. The invention may be used successfully in any application where noise mitigation measures, such as encapsulation of an electro-mechanical assembly within an acoustic shield, otherwise cause undesirable overheating of the assembly.
