Abstract
An apparatus for securing a component in a computer chassis. The apparatus provides a tray that may be made from a resilient material in which the computer component is encased. The computer component is thereby isolated from physical shock applied to the chassis, and sound from the component is dampened from escaping the confines of the apparatus. Embodiments of the tray are particularly constructed to be placed near the top of a tower configuration computer and encased by a cover that keeps the component secured. The cover is removable and therefore allows for ready access to the component.
