1. A display assembly comprising:
a mounting structure comprising a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air;
a first set of one or more fans located along the dedicated central airflow pathway for moving the first flow of ambient air when activated;
electronic equipment for operating said display assembly located along said dedicated central airflow pathway; and
side assemblies, each removably attached to a respective side of said mounting structure at an elevated position and comprising a cover, a display layer located rearward of the cover, one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways separated from the dedicated central airflow pathway and extending exclusively within a respective one of the side assemblies, and an additional set of one or more fans located along the one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways for moving air through the one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways when activated;
wherein said mounting structure and said dedicated central airflow pathway extend, in part, below said side assemblies; and
wherein at least some of said electronic equipment is located along a portion of said dedicated central airflow pathway extending below said side assemblies.
