An arcuate duct has an inlet continuous with a housing about a blower and an outlet perpendicular to the blower which further has a lip directing the air flow perpendicularly. The arcuate duct transforms an air flow intake along an X axis smoothly to air flow parallel a Y axis and the outlet lip directs the air flow parallel a Z axis given a horizontal disposition of the arcuate duct main body which utilized in a desktop PC. A vertical disposition is utilized in a tower type PC. In either case the blower is disposed adjacent an opening in the rear of the PC enclosure created by removing a removable panel and the arcuate main duct body is positioned between the IC cards and HDD on one side and the PC enclosure on the other side, being slightly compressed between the two to maintain positioning. Air flow through the arcuate duct is directed against the CPU and RAM. The lower portion of the blower is left open to blow air directly ahead past the IC cards against the HDD and auxiliary disk drives in front. The arcuate duct outlet is larger than the inlet minimizing back pressure and promoting laminar flow therethrough while an abrupt change of direction caused by the lip of the outlet induces turbulent flow and increased convection. Installation requires no rearrangement of components in the PC and no fixed attachment to the PC.
