A wall mounted computer for used in an examining room or operatory such as employed in a dentist's or doctor's office. The computer is contained in a shallow metal box which is mounted between wall studs or on the surface of a wall. Mounted to the metal box beneath the computer is one or more mass storage devices which may be accessed from beneath a horizontal support plate. A connector bracket provides convenient access to data input or output connectors. The connector bracket is recessed with respect to the mass storage devices so that cables do not block access to the mass storage devices. A translucent plate is mounted by binges to cover the access to the mass storage devices and the connector bracket to protect them from contamination. A flat panel display is removably mounted on an articulated post to the metal box. The flat panel display may be viewed while mounted on the post, or may be removed for more convenient viewing by a patient or by medical personnel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A general purpose Windows-Intel based computer is mounted between wall studs.
The mounting has a metal box which attaches between a pair of studs and a computer box, a removable support structure for a mass storage device, and a connector bracket which is removably fastened to the metal box.
The computer box has a peripheral molding, a component housing enclosed by two vertical sides of the computer box, an upper horizontal side, a transverse horizontal support extending between the two vertical sides, and a metal panel extending from the transverse support to a position adjacent the sides and top of the computer box.
A translucent panel is mounted to the transverse support below the metal plate.
The translucent panel overlies the connector bracket when positioned parallel to the metal panel.
The translucent panel may be pivoted about the hinge mounting, to provide access to electrical or optical connectors mounted to the connector bracket below the computer.
Rotation of the translucent panel also provides access to mass storage devices, in particular a DVD-ROM player, and a floppy disk drive from beneath the transverse support.
A monitor support post is mounted to the transverse support.
The support post is mounted to pivot towards and away from the metal panel from approximately vertical to an angle of fifteen degrees from the vertical.
A flat panel monitor is removably mounted on the support post.
The monitor has a frictional type mounting which allows the monitor to rotate about an axis defined by the post.
The monitor is connected by a cable to the computer box so that the monitor may be removed from the post and held by a patient or medical technician or mounted on an article of furniture such as an examining chair.
An air permeable rubber gasket is positioned between the sides of the computer box and the metal panel.
Fans mounted internally to the computer box draw air from beneath the translucent panel into the computer box.
Air exits from the computer box through the permeable rubber gasket between the sides of the computer box and the metal panel
