Claim 16:
17. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing defining an internal volume, inlet holes, and outlet holes;
a logic board positioned within the internal volume, the logic board comprising a first surface and a second surface positioned opposite the first surface, the logic board dividing the internal volume into a first zone and a second zone, the logic board defining an aperture providing fluid communication between the first zone and the second zone;
a first electronic component disposed on the first surface and positioned in the first zone, the first electronic component electrically connected to the logic board;
a second electronic component disposed on the second surface and positioned in the second zone, the second electronic component electrically connected to the logic board, the logic board defining an airflow pathway from the first zone through the aperture to the second zone; and
an air-moving system including:
a first air-mover disposed in the first zone and configured to push air out of the first zone through the outlet holes of the housing defining the first zone; and
a second air mover disposed in the second zone and configured to:
pull air into the second zone through the inlet holes of the housing defining the second zone; and
move air along the airflow pathway from the first zone to the second zone through the aperture.
