A method and apparatus for cooling components within a computer system chassis. In one embodiment, a cooling duct unit includes an air moving unit base with an air moving unit to draw and accelerate air from outside a computer system chassis to a high velocity airflow. Connected to the air moving unit base is a duct to converge and change the high velocity airflow from a circular shape to a noncircular shape. The converged and changed high velocity airflow is directed to cool a device within a computer system chassis. As a result, the device within the computer system is chassis cooled more uniformly and efficiently, while reducing acoustic noise and providing a modular cooling duct unit design for ease of attachment and removal.
