Claim Text:
1. A chassis sub-assembly for computing devices comprising: a first heat sink plate and a second heat sink plate, wherein the first heat sink plate includes a first plurality of perforations and the second heat sink plate includes a second plurality of perforations; and a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein each of the first and second computing devices is positioned between the first heat sink plate and the second heat sink plate, the first and second computing devices being in contact with both the first and second heat sink plates, and defining a channel gap between the first and second computing devices, wherein at least some of the first and second plurality of perforations are aligned with the channel gap, wherein the first computing device covers a portion of at least one perforation of the first plurality of perforations, wherein the first plurality of perforations, the channel gap, and the second plurality of perforations define an airflow channel, wherein the channel gap defines a longitudinal channel gap axis equidistant between the first and second computing devices and extending horizontally in the direction of the airflow channel, wherein at least one of the first plurality of perforations defines a first perforation axis parallel with the channel gap axis, wherein the first perforation axis is spaced a distance from the channel gap axis in a first direction, and wherein the second plurality of perforations defines a second perforation axis parallel with the longitudinal channel gap axis, wherein the second perforation axis is spaced a second distance from the channel gap axis in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
