A system comprising:
- an enclosure having a first hole and a second hole;
- an incoming conduit having a first incoming opening fitted into the first hole;
- a first plurality of holes running along at least a portion of a length of the incoming conduit;
- an outgoing conduit having a first outgoing opening fitted into the second hole;
- and
- a second plurality of holes running along at least a portion of a length of the outgoing conduit, wherein the incoming conduit and the outgoing conduit are parallel to one another, wherein the first plurality of holes and the second plurality of holes are covered by screenings, wherein the incoming conduit has a second incoming opening capped by a first pipe cap and the outgoing conduit has a second outgoing opening capped by a second pipe cap.

A method for providing airflow within an enclosure comprising:
- receiving air into a first plurality of holes running along at least a portion of a length of an incoming conduit;
- circulating the air within the enclosure attached to the incoming conduit at a first opening of the enclosure via a first fan situated near the first opening, thereby cooling a computer component within the enclosure;
- circulating the air out of the enclosure and into an outgoing conduit at a second opening of the enclosure via a second fan situated at the second opening after the air has cooled the computer component;
- and
- expelling the air from the outgoing conduit via a second plurality of holes running along at least a portion of a length of the outgoing conduit, wherein the incoming conduit and the outgoing conduit are parallel to one another, wherein the first plurality of holes and the second plurality of holes are covered by screenings, wherein the incoming conduit has a second incoming opening capped by a first pipe cap and the outgoing conduit has a second outgoing opening capped by a second pipe cap.
