A cooling device includes a heat sink assembly that may also form a housing surrounding a chamber. The housing may be constructed of a plurality of cooling vanes which have elongated openings therebetween allowing air to pass between and cool the vanes. The cooling device operates in an extremely efficient manner, for example, by causing air to pass over the cooling vanes twice.
