Zusammenfassung:	Techniques for fan mechanisms with adjustable side vents are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fan housing has several side vents that can direct airflow to components around the fan housing. Vent covers can block the vents, directing the airflow to the primary vent and the heatsink for the processor and other components. When the speed of a fan in the fan housing is increased, the vent covers open, directing airflow to components around the fan housing. In another embodiment, several vent channels are defined in the vent housing. A motor connected to a vent barrier can move the vent barrier to block or unblock the vent channels, allowing for control of airflow. In another embodiment, a fan channel module with one or more vent channels can be attached to the fan housing, allowing for a flexible array of airflow patterns for the same fan housing.
