An air-moving device is mountable to the panel, with an outer portion of the air-moving device extending forwardly from the panel and an inner portion of the air-moving device positioned in the gap. The air-moving device causes air to flow into the gap through the at least one through-hole and into one or more inlets of the inner portion.
