A computer system is formed using a riser card having multiple inter-component cabling elimination features. These features include a number of connectors provided on the interior facing surface of the riser card for directly connecting a number of components to the riser card, including a motherboard and at least one other non-add-on card component. In one embodiment, the non-add-on card components include a power supply and a storage device, and the features further include a power on/off mechanism, an I/O port, a visual indicator and a display area directly disposed on the exterior facing surface of the riser card. These features are externalized by directly disposing the riser behind a front wall of a system chassis having corresponding openings.
