Abstract
Various technologies for cooling a computer system are described. In accordance with one described embodiment, a fan assembly system for a computer comprises a fan operable for cooling the computer and a fan duct coupled with the fan. The fan duct comprises a number of attaching features. The fan is suspended at least one component of the computer. Moreover, the suspended fan enables air to flow between the fan and the component (e.g., a heatsink) to facilitate cooling of the component.
