1. An electronic device, comprising:
a multi-part housing, comprising:
a first part that defines a first internal volume and has a first opening,
a second part separably coupled to the first part, the second part defining a second internal volume in fluidic communication with the first internal volume such that air flows between the first internal volume and the second internal volume, wherein the second part includes a circular base and includes circumferentially disposed second openings that allow air to pass between an external environment and the second internal volume,
a power supply unit partially positioned in the second internal volume, and
an air mover capable of moving an amount of air from the second internal volume, through the power supply unit, and to the external environment by way of the first opening.
