Claim 12:
13. A method for dissipating heat from a heat generating component, comprising:
providing an apparatus comprising:
a secondary medium;
a fluid mover operable to create a fluid flow with respect to the secondary medium, the fluid mover comprising a housing structure and a fan housed within and rotatable relative to the housing structure;
a plenum directly attached to the secondary medium, the plenum including an aperture receiving the fluid mover, the plenum not directly physically contacting the fluid mover housing structure; and
a housing body comprising a periphery and a central portion relative to the periphery, the central portion configured to receive an attachment mechanism to directly attach to the fluid mover housing structure and positioned proximal to the secondary medium, the housing body having a plurality of fenestrations to support a multi-directional fluid flow associated with the fluid flow created by the fluid mover in operation, the housing body being a unitary item having a first surface and at least two second surfaces, each of the at least two second surfaces in communication with the first surface and extending substantially perpendicular to the first surface, and the housing body extending over and covering the plenum and the fluid mover, the plenum and the fluid mover provided inside the housing body;

operating the fluid mover to create the multi-directional fluid flow through the fenestrations of the housing body and the fluid flow with respect to the secondary medium.
