Abstract
Systems and methods relate to a temperature-controlled case. The temperature-controlled case includes a housing that defines a temperature-controlled space and an opening for providing user access to the temperature-controlled space. The case also includes a cooling element in thermal communication with the temperature-controlled space. The case further includes a modular plenum coupled to the housing and positioned behind the cooling element relative to the opening, wherein the modular plenum includes: at least one fan removably coupled to the modular plenum, wherein the at least one fan induces an air flow through the cooling element, and at least one electrical connector coupled to the modular plenum and positioned proximate each of the at least one fan for providing electrical power to each of the at least one fan.
