A mechanism and a method composed of a self-contained computer system device with mechanical vibration and shock absorbing capabilities. a closed, flexible, multi-legged device for isolation and suspension. The flexible legs support and isolate the closed volume from vibration and shock. Provided is protecting and cooling the system's electronics and disk drives. Also provided is isolating and dampening the electronics, CD and DVD assemblies from vibration and shock. It also provides mechanical support for the electronics assemblies and maintains the airflow through the assembly so that the internal temperature is close to room temperature. The removal of heat from the system internal electronics and the disk drive is achieved through forced convection heat transfer. The present invention dampens out shock and vibration as well as providing forced air-cooling of all the internal electronics.
